Hi Michel,
Is
this the thread where you inquired about the IRD preamp? where you asked "how much for a calender in Thailand?"
Curt did respond to your question and others. He stated that all new/research products will be on hold, while all existing equipment (including the Purist) will continue to be sold.
I haven't had the pleasure of listening to the Purist preamp, but I've read reviews from people whom I trust that it is a solid performer.
While I can't comment on the sound of the purist, I can comment on the customer service/support that Curt Wishman (of
IRD Audio) provides his customers...of which I am one.
In a time when I've been losing more and more faith with brick and motor stores near my home, Curt Wishman (of
IRD Audio) is one of the shining stars in a sea of bad service and support that makes buying any product (let alone an audio product) a true pleasure.
I suppose I really can't consider myself a "real" customer of
IRD Audio tho. Let me explain what I mean...I do own a pair of mb-100 amps, but I bought them used. Which makes the service Curt (of
IRD Audio) provides even more remarkable. He not only stands behind the proven customers that have bought equipment from him...but he stands behind his products. I believe this is much more telling of not only the product in question...but the man.
But Curt is not alone in providing great products with exemplary service/support. Some other companies that I've bought products from that provided excellent service/product/support are John Chapman
of Bent Audio and Hugh Dean
of Aspen Amplifiers. These gentleman have proven that they not only provide great audio products at fair prices to the world...but also have support that I've found is far above the "normal" we find in too many businesses.
I feel I should apologies for your feeling toward IRD, because my experience has been so good. After reading the post that I linked above, I must say that I was a little confused what exactly you were asking. If you hadn't made your second post here (showing your displeasure) I wouldn't have had any idea what you were talking about at all. The reason I bring this up is only to illustrate that perhaps
this the thread where you inquired about the IRD preamp? and asked "how much for a calender in Thailand?" wasn't clear enough for Curt to address your specific concerns. He did respond, but if you wanted a more in depth answer...you should have felt confident enough to ask for clarification.
The
IRD Audio) Circle is much like some of the other great circles here at AC, where the forum is filled with not only individuals who are happy to share their experience and knowledge with you...but ALSO where the actual owner/designer is always there to help as well. Kinda nice
take care,
dan
