Simplifi Audio


Anyone had experience ordering from Simplifi Audio of San Diego? I ordered and paid for a DSpeaker Dual Core from them over a month ago and cannot get any response from Tim Ryan, the owner of Simplifi. The Dual Core is supposed to ship within 1 month, guaranteed. I have called him and left 2 voice mail messages and sent emails and get nothing except the announcement on the voicemail that says "I am out of range," whatever that means. This has left a very bad impression on me. What is your experience with Tim Ryan and Simplifi Audio?

That's great! The Dual Core is a very special piece of audio gear. If you have any questions on it's features, contact me by PM over on Audio Circle. Same moniker.
Rodge, I will be sure to contact you. I do have questions about how to get the most out of the DC. Thank you.
I ordered the DSPeaker with the higher-capacity power supply and was charged $1449 by PayPal on April 9. I have still not received my order, and I am writing this on July 9.

I did manage to get Tim on the phone two times since placing my order, and both times he told me the unit would be shipped about a week later, and mentioned both times that the manufacturer in Finland had developed "new firmware versions" that had delayed the shipment of the units.

To his credit, he was polite on the phone; but I am another frustrated customer, in that after 3 months, I still have received nothing---even though their website states that orders will be completed within 30 days. It does make me feel a little better, seeing from these posts, that other customers have had the same experience ordering this unit from Simplifi Audio. Still, until my order actually arrives, I fear the loss of my $1449.
Ragmsmd,

You won't loose your money. Paypal will see to that, just file a complaint and they will work out a refund for you. Tim means well, but he is tethered to a very small company that can't keep up with demand. As I mentioned to Foster9 in an earlier response " you are closer now to getting a Dual Core than if you pull out". I went through a similar thing waiting months for my Dual Core and almost gave up, but I'm glad I didn't.
I ordered a $500 power supply and have not received it after 7 months! All emails have been ignored. I'm working with PayPal to try to get a refund - they acknowledged that this is a 'problem' vender that has been suspended. DO NOT BUY FROM HIM!! No response to 5 emails and calls!

It took 3 months to get my Dspeaker 2.0 - and the communication then was also terrible, but at least I got it.
