In Reply to: RE: I Attempted to Obtain the Tortuga LDR... posted by Doug Schroeder on January 17, 2015 at 14:02:35
Hi Doug:
Understood. I can corroborate what you say about the Tortuga.
I know a reviewer who tried to secure a unit and the communication from the owner was zero after initial interest.
But following the development on audiocircle, it seems the LDR when through a total un utter complete overhaul..for the better. The idiosyncrasies of LDR required sophisticated software to keep it working correctly, and then there was a total chassis redesign. Then there were request for balanced connections. Then requests for remote capability and visual display. Then their were request for a kit version.
You can imagine how much effort it took to achieve these goals!
I must say the owner is highly intelligent and really made an effort to make it a ready for prime time product. But being a one man operation, I guess he prioritized R&D, and reviewers were put on the back burner.
I appreciate your time and effort in all your reviews.

The greatest impediment to advancing an audiophile system is the audiophile.
Updates on manufacturer's concerns always help understand the delays. It used to be upsetting to be put on "hold," but now I simply turn a different direction and sure enough, there's something else to occupy my interest.
Especially with smaller businesses, patience is a necessity.
Thanks for your interest and support.

Sure thing.
Check out the Tortuga website..you will be surprised at the evolution of the product. Also the Audio Circle thread is amazing in its chronological detail. Also to his credit, the price has not increased, which is remarkable.
But not to derail this thread, which was about the Teo Audio piece. Certainly, it is an interesting product, and I am a believer in passive devices. The price, at $4200 maybe a bit of a hurdle..but hearing is believing.
