Well Tempered Labs out of business?

When I e-mailed Transparent Audio some months ago, they had no dealer representation for the Well-Tempered; if you wanted one, you just had to buy from Transparent without audition. Hopefully Stanalog distributorship will let people actually hear the product.

I have the same issue with Stanalog. No response when you call and leave a message. Unfortunate considering the turntable is a great product. Existing owners are probably captive.

I've also not had any luck at getting through to Stanalog with either e-mails or phone calls. I did order some WT items a few months ago (belt, protractor, etc.) from their website which was very quick and responsive. The items arrived within days of my order.

I spoke with George @ Stanalog (factory rep for WT) at length less than a month ago-- I found him rather gracious with his time, and extremely friendly, knowledgeable, and helpful regarding the line.

He did remark that he IS extremely busy-

As far as the thought that there is no support for WT --- I call BS.

I am indeed a WT owner and have no association to Stanalog other than a very pleasant, live, for real discussion regarding a question. Solved!

In the holiday spirit - I wish everyone an awesome new year!

OH-- as far as the WT goes --- I love mine!
