Tekton Double Impacts

I'm sure that it will be fine in the end, but up until yesterday I had no comms and no idea what was going on- after 3 emails over 9 days which sounds an alarm for me.  Not sure how a customer's 3 emails get missed but the moment a forum post goes up, immediately replies to thread post.  Think about it.
Either way, I'm super happy to hear the replacement is almost out the door because yesterday's conversation left me rather disappointed, obviously.  
As for the basement- super large poop sandwich for sure.  I'm hoping I have a job one year from now so I can look back and laugh.  If not, I can get you a deal on some lightly used Tektons.

What an amazing display of low level integrity (not you slick).  

For quite a number of years now I've bought all my gear based entirely on on-line research. Would greatly prefer home audition but that's just not possible. Not once the field is narrowed down to the one or two best in value/best in class. 

One of the things I have learned in doing all these searches and reading all these comments is to completely disregard anything and everything that is not owner or at least first hand experience. Actually I learned that long before I started doing this. They keep on writing it, oh well.

Actual user comments on the other hand are gold. Especially when they run against the grain of the common wisdom. When something is popular it takes a certain strength of character to have the courage to say the Emperor has no clothes. But when something is new and different then you take on a certain degree of risk in saying its marvelous. Even if it is.

Tekton is a pretty good example of this. Everything about Tekton from their design principle to the owner and even manufacture and sales, its all a little unusual. You say something positive, you open yourself up to attack from people totally clueless with no knowledge whatsoever. Some so totally determined to complain instead of admitting they have nothing to say they fall back on... well never mind.

Another thing I learned is how to find value even in the negative stories. If there's a lot of them, doesn't matter what they are, run. Never had that happen yet. But if there's hardly any that says something too. Especially in the inter web age, where one bad experience can be broadcast around the world instantly.

Not seeing anything here that worries me. Got a pretty fine system right now, if I do say so myself. If I was to win the Lottery, my first call would be to Eric to order some Ulfs. Then to Raven for a Reflection MkII. And Peter for a Hyperion. Yeah. I know. Dream on. But that's the company I put Tekton in.

Just curious Miller, have you heard Tektons Ulf or otherwise? 
Not being a dick I owned DIs and loved them. Just curious. 

Actually, some(not all) owner comments can be just as bad as some non owner comments.  The bliss of new ownership coupled with inexperience and a desire to share online.  Overly positive or gushing reviews, and a complete lack of understanding what they are hearing from their new gear.  

I tend to throw out all the haters' and ecstatic comments/reviews and look for those who are balanced enough to find good and bad in a product.  Strengths AND weaknesses, it gives one an insight that the fanboy comments just don't offer.
