Anyone else order Caladans from Clayton Shaw?


After watching videos and reading positive reviews I ordered a pair of Caladans. It’s been 2 weeks and I have never received an email confirmation of sale.  The charge on my cc was from Spatial Audio.  I have called and left VMs twice and also emailed Clayton’s info address. Crickets ! 

Has anyone else experienced this?  I assume he’s extremely busy but I’m getting a little anxious.

I spoke to Clayton over a month ago about a late December order. There were some problems with Square taking payment, but nothing on his end. It's just growing pains, in my opinion.  Some of the addresses and finishes were muddled from Square.  It was a good discussion - he was excited to get building these.  I am not too pressed and have other things to tinker with.  I ordered white oak (putting them in my relaxing living room with a gray-stained wood floor.

 

PP note

Feedback for those who have used PP: I have used that with other vendors, and I believe there's a 30-day timeout.  I saw it trying to get some go-fast car parts during COVID with supply chain issues.

Clayton contacted me and everything is good. I don’t expect the sound I’ve been getting from 35 years of electrostatics, but in my current 10X12 room, just hope it is good enough.

Advisory to Caladan Owners!!!  If you have ordered or received a pair of Caladans, please know that they require a lot of break-in time. Mine sounded rather lame, with almost no bass, until I reached about 45 to 50 hours of run-in time. At that point the bass came alive and things got much, much better. The bass is amazing More later.
