Retired from TQ

[Colin Wonfor]

As some of you maybe aware I have retired from Tellurium Q very reluctantly.
I started to produce a new range of kits and A Class amplifiers (my passion) under the name of One4Audio and Wonfor Audio.
Now with a sigh of relief from many quarters I have to say this:- :lol:

Due to unforeseen circumstances all my dreams and future plans for designs have been put on hold.
This also has a massive impact on my everyday and personal life.
If circumstance change I will revisit these ideas, meanwhile I like to thank you all for you help and support over the last few ages.
And wish you all the best.

Regards

Colin J. Wonfor

That is a shame.
Nobody should have to stop following their passion in life.

Push through Colin !
Your speakers and amplifier designs are just incredible. The A Class SECA I use has been a re game changer for me. Even if you don't do it commercially, make sure you keep tinkering .

[Ali Tait]

Sorry to hear Colin, hope things improve for you.

[awkwardbydesign]

Sorry to hear that, I hope your situation improves enough for you to continue.

[SLS]

Terribly sorry to hear that and I just hope it all works out for you.

My son continues to disturb the neighbourhood with his mid 1980s Claymore, the only amp he's ever owned and will likely need for a while. I was quietly following your thread elsewhere and had in mind doing the Class A kit with him. He'd have got pleasure from watching me soldering my fingers together.

Look after yourself

Wish you the best Colin.

Stay in touch with us.

Real shame Colin. Hopefully things will improve again.

Still using my trusty Oberon; I can't believe for one minute there won't be another Wonfor creation for us to drool over.

[Gazjam]

Good health mate.

[Barry]

Sorry to read that Colin.

Here's hoping that the situation will change soon and you will be able to follow your dream.

Stay in touch and Good Luck.

[Floyddroid]

One of the legends of a great industry. Peace, health and luck to you good sir. I have heard many of your designs over the years and loved every one. Like many others i only hope that your circumstances change and you return to doing what you do best, designing and building statements.

It could be interesting, I hope. Good luck to them.

Hi Colin. How are you keeping? I believe you had some problems a while ago. Hope you're OK. :)

[Colin Wonfor]

I am recovering I can tell as I am getting bored silly. Thanks Geoff.
How are things with you?

I got bored recovering from more hospital holidays so I was interviewed by Howard at Hi-fi Answers by e-mail.
He has encouraged me to write a tiny bit even with my poor spelling and crap grammar.

So I will be describing a K.I.S.S. design non techy A Class amp, SECA design based on the TOCA and additional circuits to be added later to improve performance.

The Technical DIYer out there will find it simply others may not but I do hope all have fun and enjoyment in making them.


So comments please. (not to rude)

Many familiar names from way back then..:wheniwasaboy:

[walpurgis]

I'm OK Colin. I'm just a bit bored myself being retired (and not as flush as I was).

I've heard the term, but I don't know what a K I S S amp is. Although I do understand what Class A does. I use such.

I'm no tech wiz, but can get my head around most things. It'll be interesting to hear/see what you are planning.

[sondale]

Col,

I will get in touch.

We as designers tend to make things too complex, take remote controls and other digital lies.
We cramp into our Audio now days far too much and the costs are crazy.
For example:-
Chassis 50%
Digital control logic 10%
Digital lies 20%
PSU 10%
Audio Analog 10% and this is the bit we want to produce the artists and musicians we love, and to have them play in our homes. So why do we put all the other crap in and create audio junk?

My plan as always been to build to K.I.S.S. OK the chassis will cost a lot but I can now spend on the analog audio side including the very important PSU.

So K.I.S.S, is Keep It Simply Stupid :doh:

So now ask yourselves do you need a toaster with a micro in it NO, I still like toast but not with added logic.

[struth]

where can i buy one of these micro toasters?:eyebrows:
