Just went to the website.  There are closing out all of their goods.  Pretty good prices.

Sorry to see them go.  I've bought several items from Larry over the years.

Sadly , another casualty of a market place driven by off shore manufacturing.
Albeit with reduced manufacturing costs (only to maximize profits), many times
comes with reduced quality and the eventual extinction of those who manufacture
in North America, and buy North American raw materials to manufacture with.

I'm also sorry to hear they are closing. I also own one of his tables I just hope I never  have to replace it. It would cost thousands to find a table of  the same quality.

has2be, do you actually know this to be true, or are you speculating? There are many reasons why a company may close its doors. Contrary to popular opinion, manufacturing thrives in North America, although many of the products aren't  necessarily consumer products. As for turntables: VPI, Oracle and Sota are all made in North America. Those companies seem to be doing well and the products are world-class.
