TTWeights closing their doors


Has anyone heard of this, just caught a recent for sale item from them that mentioned they will be closing their doors for table manufacturing on 12/18/15.

has2be1" ...And you should verify your own facts.
I stated North American materials, can you say with certainty the products you listed
use materials all made in America or are they off shore and assembled in America ?

Actually, I didn’t make any claim about the extent to which the turntables I cited were 100 percent North American-made, so you’re not really in a position to instruct me to verify my own "facts."

But, since you’ve raised the issue, yes, I know from Matt Weisfield that VPI turntables are 100 percent US made from US materials with one exception: the tonearm cueing mechanism. Everything else is US made, mostly in NJ and Pa.

Of course, it's always a bit sad when the audiophile community loses one of its manufacturers. Many of them are small businesses. They may be a one-person shop, or a closely-knit family business. Even what many consider to be a "major" manufacturer - such as Audio Research or Pass Labs - is really a small business in the grander scheme of things.

And it's the smaller companies where some of the audio world's most colorful and inventive characters toil. There are ripple effects when they close up shop. No one wants to see that happen.
100% of TTW Products used certified aircraft grade NAFTA materials which means MANUFACTURED IN USA OR CANADA.

Machined on USA Built Hardigne Machines also, these are sold but cost 300K per piece.

We use motors and servo controlers that cost 10 times the competitors and materials that were high grade but the average audio guy falls for the BS marketing and pays 5K for a table that costs 900 to build LOL. 
Yes VPI is made in USA and the motors are $75.00 products, our servo motor is $550.00 US plus $400.00 for the control board.....just got o HURSTS website and look.

The VPI tables are not in the same league as TTW tables .....  not even close.

They have the best marketing but far from the best tables and that is a fact !!
