    Peter,

    Please don't forget The Odyssey. Your pylons and ceramic ball replacements certainly worked on my deck.

    Well done. I was a bit sceptical at first, but the WOW factor took over.

    A picture of my Odyssey in in this thread somewhere.

    Kind regards.

    Tad.

    Hi Michael,

    Yes, you're correct, but Peter has already paid for a trade account. He's just waiting to come up with a name for the business, with his partner, and then his trade room will be opened, and things will move forward from there

This is the supreme test. It is the glory of Lincoln that, having almost absolute power, he never abused it, except on the side of mercy".

    “You see these dictators on their pedestals, surrounded by the bayonets of their soldiers and the truncheons of their police ... yet in their hearts there is unspoken fear. They are afraid of words and thoughts: words spoken abroad, thoughts stirring at home -- all the more powerful because forbidden -- terrify them. A little mouse of thought appears in the room, and even the mightiest potentates are thrown into panic.”

    i note that Grant (and also Geoff) have had to step in and deal with a little 'fracas' earlier. Please remember guys that we don't allow 'baggage' from elsewhere (other forums) to spoil discussions here, so leave that stuff where it belongs.

    Also, could everyone (especially Michael) please remember that Peter is essentially an official trader here. The only difference is that because he's still to finalise a suitable name to trade under, he's not yet been given the appropriate title, or a dedicated room to use to promote his products.

    However, this thread (and any others like it that Peter chooses to post), which will be moved into his trade room in due course, acts as a permitted advert for his products, and his right to promote his new business as a registered trader. Therefore, the stipulated rules on 'Thread Crapping' on trade threads apply here too, as indeed they would if this thread had been posted in the trade room. In future, punitive action, in the form of a week's ban, will be taken against anyone seen to break those rules, which some of the recent (now deleted) posts would've qualified as.

    Therefore, please bear that in mind, and from now on let's keep this thread strictly constructive and on-topic. Cheers!

    Marco.

    No need for any PMs, Michael. I understand, but clearly there is history between Peter and you, which is causing some aggravation, and so he's not interested in discussing anything with you here, including prices. So please leave it there, respect his wishes, and from now on avoid this thread.

    Indeed, any more input from you here will be removed without further notice. Cheers!

    Dear Marco thank you , ,the problem with pricing is that every set is custom , the price is being dictated by the machine shop,, due to the nature of what michell has done to the holes every set is Custom, and made to the size of the holes given ,,
    this has caused a problem with the pricing, if i wait and order more sets the cost comes down , as i do not have to pay the set up cost which is passed on,,, then the problem with the hole sizes, each and every Chassis have different size holes, on some 3 different size holes in the bottom part of the chassis and 3 different size holes in the top,, so now in order to get the cost down and order a full production run of 100 sets
    the size will be reduced to a one size fits all,even these will have to be tested first , with the base being 34.2 x 28,2 pre 2013 after 2013 33.7 x 28, michell reduced the hole sizes , but have now in 2017, to a 33.5 x 28, 33.77 , and 33.71 in 2017 ,so no uniformity in the chassis, ,
    the problem will continue to rumble on , i have a set coming back the first in 30 sets , These will be used for testing and then destroyed, the reason they were sent back is they dont make the 'speakers disappear ', like the springs,, but they do a lot of other things, as i have said previously i think these are an improvement to the OEM springs, and that is all,,

    the owners have been good enough to leave their thoughts and feed back , even the person who is returning them can leave feedback if he wants to,, so i can go forward and people can see that not every thing is rosy , i am a honest person that is all,,

    The gentleman who is returning them had problems in fitting them due to the acrylic being out on the plinth,, the cost to him just being the post , back.

    i must get the T and c's sorted out ,before any full commercial product is launched on the web, at this moment until that set comes back ,,they will be machined down to one of the sizes above so the loss is not total and used as test sample,

    in future if they stay customized/bespoke /tailor made , product , i will not accept them back with out the understanding you have to pay 50% of the set up cost if not %100,, if not canceled with in 14days this is when they will be machined,

    hopefully i can sort out the one size fits all and that will not happen ,

    i have been testing using a rubber washer on the base to help stop chassis from twisting ,and not use the ptfe washer , reduce the size of the base,, so it will fit every deck out there,,

    so i am sorry i just cannot answer what is the price now, the kit price is set ,, through true point audio..which is now on hold,, i just cannot keep absorbing the loss,like i have been in the past ,, and continue to do so,

    kind regards
    peter
