Decware and “The List”
So….this
@moonwatcher I don't want to highjack this "Decware" thread but I can say I'm not missing my tubes one bit. Believe it or not the thought of "do they sound as good as a tube amp" hasn't crossed my mind, not once. Tekton does farm out their grills, I think that's the problem. |
I too have been through the Tekton / Decware spinning wheel of death. 😂 It took several months of emails and phone calls to get my matching white grills. They mistakenly sent two pairs of black grills before they got it right on the third try. Eric was too busy to return any of my calls. So I got their receptionist who was absolutely clueless. Excuses excuses. I'm on the third page of the waitlist now for my Zen 25th anniversary amp. Ordered January of 22. I can understand how more people added to the list means a longer wait for those on the back end, but I was told by Decware my wait was about a year. It's looking more like 18 - 24 months. How does that happen? I couldn't wait any longer so I bought a pair of Atma Sphere Class D mono blocks. They are GLORIOUS! Absolutely amazing. I know Steve makes world class amps, and so does Ralph (AS). AS started building it's fan base and introducing new advancements in tube amp design 15 years before Decware. I'm looking forward to the day I get to compare the two, but I'm going to go out on a limb here and say I expect there's going to be a brand new 25th up for sale sometime next fall. |
