Phoenix Engineering Falcon and Eagle


Read a one-liner in a different forum related to Phoenix operations.  Tried to access their website without success. 

Are they still around?

My understanding is that Phoenix Engineering was not unsuccessful. Just that it was too time consuming, so Mr. Carlin decided to return to retirement.
I have an Eagle and a Roadrunner. Outstanding products in my opinion.
Recent reviews in TAS, Audio Planet and comments in Stereophile are all very positive.
Thinking of grabbing a backup for a secondary system while I still can.
I have heard a VPI turntable with it and with the SDS ...makes no difference to my ears.
Stringreen, When you say you've heard "it", do you refer to the Eagle plus Roadrunner, connected so that the RR feeds information about speed back to the Eagle, or do you refer to just a straight ahead comparison of the Eagle to the SDS?  Because the SDS does not have provision for feedback from the platter on speed.  For this reason the Eagle + RR ought to have an advantage in any comparison to the SDS alone.  However, there is no guarantee that you or I would easily hear it.
