What's up with Soundstage Direct?


They have been my go to source for new music for years. In the past 8 months, orders have been very slow. E-mails and calls are very sketchy. Anyone else have thoughts here?

I noticed my last order from them was REALLY delayed, also. At the time I didn’t think much of it because I wasn’t pressed for time. I just assumed that one of the records wasn’t in stock and they waited to ship the whole order until they had everything. As a general rule, however, my go to is Acoustic Sounds. That place may have less frequent sales but they are a fine tuned machine. Love doing business with them. 
There have been issues with them noted on several audio forums lately; the latest rumor is that they are forming new management.

My last transaction went ok several weeks ago, but I have noticed lately that their frequent emails have come to a total halt for the last week or so.

Hopefully this is not the end, but weirder things have happened...

Good luck to all that have pending transactions! As for me, I would hold off until I receive some info and proceed with caution if I do order through them.
@deecee "the latest rumor is that they are forming new management."

I've watched this happen enough to see that's so often the statement that swirls around before a high-end audio entity goes under.  SSD always seemed like a highly profitable entity, one that would stick around.  Even a bit harder for me, as since I'm also in the Philadelphia area, it was a local business.  REALLY sad news...
FYI:  Well it does not look good for SSD, I just talked to my CC company about getting a refund on a TT that I had ordered on May 4th, 2018 it was a VPI Prime, money taken from CC that same day.I still have not received said TT and for the past 2 weeks have been unable to get in touch with SSD by phone or email even Seth's phone is not answering it just states that mailbox is full and not taking any further messages.So at this time I have a claim in with my CC company and if you have placed a recent order with SSD I would suggest that you be careful and keep an eye out for your orders.My bank Chase says they are getting several requests from customers about SSD lately.
