Dave's feelings aside, 'laying off the majority of their employees' is far more serious than just letting go of a couple hardware guys. I'm now very curious to know what's really going on. No one else is even talking about this.

Gearspace I think is doing a lot of active filtering to prevent it, I think. UA is one of their major sponsors, after all. They also suspended telephone support entirely a week or two ago.
I have definitely seen a huge number of UAD devices up for sale on the used market locally over the past few months. Perhaps a reflection of the rate of adoption of UADx.
In any case, it is hard to imagine the number of bottom-dollar 1176 style hardware clones on the market isn't chewing UA analog sales out big time.
