Is Tom Evans Audio Design out of business?


Anyone know about the status of this company? I shipped him a Groove phone preamp for repair and upgrade last August (from the USA to the UK). I did this through a USA Tom Evans dealer. I never heard directly from Tom Evans but the dealer would occasionally give me vague updates. In mid-February, the dealer said Evans told him my unit would be shipped "next week." But now the Tom Evans Audio Design e-mail bounces back and his phone has a 24/7 busy signal. The dealer, a guy named Darrin O'Neill of Audio Limits in Colorado, now says he knows nothing and thinks Evans may be out of business. I have contacted other Tom Evans dealers and no one can tell me anything helpful. Fortunately I was never charged and have not sent any payments, although I offered to several times. The whole situation seems very strange to me. I only post this because I have a phono preamp that is unaccounted for and not much recourse. Any info or suggestions would be appreciated.

Tom Evans Audio is definitely still in business. There have been some problem but they have been overcome, as far as I know. I had the first and only pair (ever) of Linear B MK2 mono-blocks from there about eighteen months ago (they are truly amazing!) and I have an upgrade to my Master groove underway even as we speak. That said, yes, things do take a while, it’s a small concern with lots of upgrades and orders for new stuff from around the world. If you ever want to get in touch with them directly the UK number is 441443833570
