In Reply to: 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.
