Livio Cucuzza's redesign of ARC's classic "laboratory" look in their recent products was not universally praised although I kind of grew to admire his design choices. Are there other reasons you feel "ARC most likely won't miss (him)"? Could not agree with you more regarding ARC's need to retain their sonic heritage.
