Has anyone had any luck in contacting Dale Pitcher


Hi all : Could use your help in contacting Dale Pitcher of Intuitive Design. I have tried the work numbers and personal cell number with no luck for the past six months. I have an Essence amp which he has been unable to supply parts for a repair needed two years ago and a pair of external crossovers he has not returned for Essence subs that have set idle for the past 5 years waiting for his expertise.

If this doctor is in Indianapolis I know that he purchased used ones that Dale was trying to help a customer going through a bankruptcy. After the doctor got them it was discovered they were blown.

Dale sent replacement woofers but never drove over to install them. I installed them for Dale a couple of years ago but the still need crossovers.

Dale doesn't try to rip people off. The reality is that audiophiles have permenantly destroyed the industry by demanding heavy discounts to the point that many high end companies only make about $1200 a month so they have to work day jobs or live off food stamps.
No, this doctor is in Louisville, Kentucky, did nothing but give the Sub Woofers to Dale Pitcher to have them sold or upgraded...they disappeared, as did he. Typical of his behavior for the past years that I've known him.
But the larger issue is the defense that Audiobunker has presented for Mr. Pitcher.
So, let me see if I have this right.
Audiophiles are to blame for Dale Pitcher collecting deposits for gear, then not presenting that gear to said purchaser for...oh, I don't know, forever?
That is the same logic that only he would employ...so I'm wondering if Audiobunker isn't Dale Pitcher's pseudonym.
Pitcher and Mr. Albert Von Schweikert are both cut from the same cloth. Collect money, then don't produce.
There are words for that behavior...it's called Interstate Fraud.
I defy either of them to dispute these accusations.

Names, dates and amounts available on request.
Caveat Emptor.

I know Audiobunker Larry. His name is not Dale Pitcher. Dale does not frequent these forums. I know of several physicians in that area who own or have owned Dale's gear, including an Orthopod who has multiple systems built around Essence electronics.

Larry, does this individual still own Essence electronics?
Dale's new business since Essence expired, is Intuitive Design audio. He still makes excellent speakers. He makes interconnect and speaker cable under the brand name Mosaic. Intuitive Design does have a web page. His Power Bridge technology appears to have great promise. Despite his brilliance as a designer, he appears a poor businessman. His products are so over engineered, they can only be produced or repaired quite slowly as he is so worried about his ideas being stolen which wouldn't be the first time. Many of us that can afford his products are type A people to achieve the financial success needed to buy them. Dale seems to be a type B personality. I too have known Dale for better than 20 years, in the past had adequate service, but now he has had my Essence amplifier for over 4 years. I have visited him in Torrington, I feel he's brilliant, a good family man, but with his poor business model has not been able to enjoy financial success from his products and he struggles. Thanks to audiogon information I did talk to a couple of his dealers, and they do not appear to have any leverage to aid in the repair of his older products. Dale appears overwhelmed. I hope Alpha Tech Audio mentioned above is able to do the service as his products are top notch when functioining.
An accurate summation Sufur. I would not recommend sending any vintage electronics to Dale for repair. An outfit like Alpha is the answer....

His stuff is out of this world, particularly his new conditioning technology.
