Is Star Sound Technologies out of business?


I didn't know where to post this....I was trying to check out the audiopoints, but most of the www.audiopoints.com Web site just shows the dreaded box with the red X, can't seem to open up the pages.

Are they gone, or is it just a server problem??

what is oakiris supposed to apologise for,did she say somthing that was spiteful or untrue ? i dont think so, all i read was a simple question but you choose to read it another way.

it never fails as soon as somebody asks a simple question thats service related the audio police leap all over them & do their best to make the poster feel like crap why is that ?

i dont know weather you realize it or not but its 2005 & not 1985 & due to the huge presence of audiogon on the web its not a real smart business move for manufacturers to be out of touch with potential customers for any reason because if they are the customer will move on to the next ad.

have you looked at her gear & if you did then why would you think that simple question was anything other than a real music loving audiophile looking for help in contacting a manufacturer they wanted to buy gear from.

i guess some people prefered the days before audiogon where you had to spend a ton of cash in order to get the dealers attention .

you should get your lips off that manufacturers boots long enough to apologise to oakiris for trying to make her look like a bad person.

I'm with Bigjoe. Holly was asking a legitimate question based on experience. There was no intended malice that I have been able to perceive!

Judy426 your comments are completely out of line! If it were not for Tom I would not know what I do about starsound technology, and I think it would be a lot more useful to hear it from a company rep than just another twit who has nothing to do but blabber on AudiogoN (that being nrchy).

Why anyone should apologize for being accurate and helpful is beyond me!?!
I have already apologized here on this public forum, the same place where I made the faux pas of asking about Starsound in such a way in the first place.

Again, I meant no harm to Tom, or Robert or the company, have never read anything but good things about their products, and have been helped quite a bit by Tom (Twl) before when I was in search of a turntable.

When I couldn't access their website earlier this month, I was just very dismayed that they might be out of business, and made the mistake of making a post here where I was hoping to get some reassurance from the many knowledgeable folks on Audiogon. Instead, I worded my question in such a way that many have taken offense and seem to think I was trying to undermine a company that is very well respected, and rightfully so.

Please note that it was no fault at all of Starsound or its owners/employees that I was unable to fully access their Web site - it was totally due to the lousy computer I was on at the time.

I again ask for forgiveness for my unthinking post and assure you that I am here to learn - and even, I hope, to occasionally be of help to others when I can - not to spread malicious gossip or to start some sort of controversy.

Holly, don't be concerned, you did nothing wrong.
Computers do strange things sometimes.
I understand completely.
I'm happy that you got the info you were looking for.
Thanks Tom - your understanding makes it a lot better!

I was looking for a replacement Audiopoint - I managed to snap off one on my equipment stand when I was moving it. The stand alone weighs 350 lbs so I can't lift it, so I have to sort of "walk it" into place. I put too much of a an angle on one of the Audiopoints, realizing that you aren't supposed ever do this, and "snap" went the threaded insert....

Anyway, turns out I won't be able to replace it - it snapped off inside the tap in the equipment stand leg and there is nothing to grab on to in order to unscrew the part that is still attached to the leg. That leg is now sitting on a couple of pieces of metal - quite elegant, I am sure! :-~
