Acoustic Solid Related to Acoustic Signature?

Dear Martykl: Acoustic Solid was the starting TT manufacturer, the original partners had some problems and they split in two companies and here born Acoustic Signature.

Btw, great TTs.

regards and enjoy the music.

A local audio dealer recently told me Acoustic Solid was the original company, partners split and stole the designs for the Acoustic Signature models.

Thanks for clarifying. Any opinion as to which company better executes the designs?
