OK. I see that info. All I'll say is that I have had nothing but positive business and customer service interactions with him, nothing but positiver personal interactions and impressions. And the products he sold me have really brought improvements.

I don't know about this Mark guy not being a crook. He was convicted of things that seem very similar to what is going on right now.

A quick Google check came up with this.

Vera-Fi Audio owner Mark Schifter is a convicted felon with a well-documented history of financial fraud spanning multiple decades in the audio industry.
Criminal Record & Past Schemes
Charity Fraud Conviction (2010): While running his former audio company, AV123 (and Perpetual Technologies), Schifter was indicted on 27 counts of charity fraud. He ran illegal online raffles claiming the proceeds would go to legitimate charities like the Denver Post Community Foundation and cancer organizations. Instead, he pocketed the money to pay off business debts. He pled guilty and was sentenced to 20 years of probation and two years of work release.
Subsequent Arrests: Shortly after his initial conviction, he was arrested again for probation violations related to ongoing financial misconduct.
AV123 Collapse: His previous major venture, AV123, went bankrupt and collapsed under the weight of these scams, leaving hundreds of customers out of pocket for audio gear they had pre-ordered but never received.

Current Issues with Vera-Fi Audio
Due to his past, the audio community closely monitors his business practices. Currently, Vera-Fi Audio faces a wave of major customer backlash and scam warnings across Reddit and audiophile forums.
The company frequently utilizes a pre-order model but has failed to fulfill orders for months, leading to widespread accusations that they are running a cash-flow or "Ponzi-like" operation using new pre-order money to pacify older, angry customers requesting refunds.
If you are considering purchasing from Vera-Fi Audio, the general consensus among consumer advocates in the audiophile community is to stay far away. If you have an unfulfilled order with them, it is highly recommended that you initiate a credit card chargeback immediately.

Thanks Steve,

I can't think of a better way to describe what I hear from these drivers ...

I just added a page for the AMT modules to my website.

Here is the link.

I will have two pairs of baffles with these AMT modules at the Decware Fest in October.

One pair of Lii Song F-15 baffles
One pair of Audio Nirvana Super 15 baffles

Looking forward to seeing everyone there,
Randy

I know he'll appreciate the message Tony. I personally don't think he's a "crook." Things are very tough right now for small businesses and getting supplies can seem impossible in a timely manner. I hope all who are disappointed and given up have their dollars returned quickly.

Thanks, Lon, for the update on Mark's condition. I had heard that he might be struggling with some health issues, but it wasn't confirmed. I just sent Mark a message wishing him a full recovery.

I was in contact with Mark earlier this year, sorting through some SDFB issues (he is a phenomenal guy to work with) and he mentioned that he was experiencing some issues, I had no idea it was this serious.  Wishing him a very speedy recovery.

I've heard from Mark. It's true, about six weeks ago. He is recovering. I know many wish him well.

This summer with attention to isolation components I'm enjoying the LNBHs and Snub Station Zeros I'm using more and more.

I'll sum up my experience with the Dynagrid Jr.: it's as if my SEWE300B has a mystery dream rectifier installed. It has allowed me to find (via tailoring it to the system, and via the dynamic transparency that it provides) just the right frequency balance and sense of body and form to the playback of my system. It has made me stop thinking of any rectifier I've used.

It's an expensive "option." I'm glad I went for it, but the expense may not be worth it to all.

There have been three important upgrades to my system this decade. First: The SEWE300B. Man, this amp was an "amp-envy" killer for me. As much as I loved my fully modded SEUFO3 Monoblocks, this amp suits my speakers (HR-1) better, and has me so happy. Second: the Goldpoint 2 into 1 XLR switcher with gain control that I purchased at a steal of a price which allows me to use my ZROCK3 with both my phono preamp and my DAC. And finally the Dynagrid Jr. which is like the ising on the system cake.

I don’t see many reviews on the dynagrid. Can you all describe the effect on a decware amp?

I am currently using a Sophia electric mesh plate
