Transcendar RIP?

[famousmockingbird]

That is bad news for DIY peeps. I am glad I grabbed a pair when I did!

Oh well back to Edcor

I think if you read the Klipsch forum more carefully you'd see I don't take all the credit. Quite the opposite. My circuits are are licensed.

I don't see any reference to Transendar.

At one point I distinctly remember Transcendar mentioned in the ad copy. I went back to look at the designs a little later (very pretty amps) but then I couldn't find the transcendar info again.

Good news that Gery may be back eventually! Great iron.

I can't remember the exact details but over on the Klipsch forums Justin Weber takes all the credit for these amps when in fact Shannon Parks designs the circuits and somebody else (Pete Millet?) does the PCB's for him. That forum is full of retards anyway and I stay as far away as I can from that cesspool. With that said I do like the looks of the amps but I have never heard one.

+1.

Update: I heard back from Gery, and he indicated it may be a year or so from now before he gets back into transformer production again. Based on this, I would dismiss any rumors that he may be manufacturing exclusively for a business elsewhere. Without further speculation, I'd simply guess he's taking some time off and 'may' return to it in another year or so. Until then, I guess other sources will be the name of the game. WC

That sucks. Now I regret selling my amp with Transcendar OTs installed.

I noticed a couple auctions pop up from the Transcendar eBay account. Anyone know if Gery is winding transformers again?

Gery never quit winding transformers. He basically just got 'out' of the DIY individual customer business as he was just swamped with his commercial business. In speaking with him recently, he indicated that he'd do his best to take care of his good customers from past ordering, but simply wasn't able to take on 'new' business at this time. Sort of a 'good news / bad news' scenario. Fortunately, he's still around, and perhaps some time in the not-too-distant future he'll go back to taking 'hobby' type orders from new customers.

 

[Sodacose]

Ah, thanks for the info. More good than bad news then. Wish him best of luck.

I just emailed him this week seeing if he was taking orders. He indicated that he was, hopefully I’ll decide what I want to do before he gets busy again.
