Sadness.  First Oppo, now Sure.  They allegedly come in threes, so who's next?

First table I owned was a Technics SL-23. Guy at the shop installed a Sure high track ( don't remember the # ) and I was in heaven! My first move into high fidelity vinyl. Pity that they are folding now as vinyl is making a huge comeback. I suspect labor cost is the problem.

Found this: https://www.cnet.com/google-amp/news/sad-news-vinyl-lovers-shure-exits-phono-cartridge-business/

Article says suppliers couldn’t keep up. If that’s true, I wonder how that is affecting other manufacturers
