[QUOTE="PierreM, post: 857590, member: 17455"] Hi Jonesy, I think Agaton Sax sums it nicely and is what I was alluding to, that there must be something more to the story. It takes Schalk about a week of his full time labour to assemble a Whisper, it is the akin to making a Rolex from scratch. I don't know anyone that will do so much for so little return, do the maths and see if you can make a living off the profit from one Whisper a week to pay your bills. It is so good because it is made like a Swiss watch and anyone venturing to pull it apart is going to end up crying. I don't know any one on the planet that offers a better warranty than Schalk and I also don't know of anyone who puts more love and attention into his creations either. This all come at a cost to him personally and sometimes he cannot keep on doing things for free at the expense of himself and his family, he too needs to keep the pot on the boil. So imagine having to send stuff for free to a client who then blows it up? I too would go mute. If you complain about postage then view this from his point of view. I have no doubt that despite everyone's best intentions the fact that the Whisper is kaput is of your own volition. So best is you send it back and I'm sure Schalk would be able to sort it out, the alternative is to bin it because anybody that isn't an expert on the construction of the Whisper is just going to blow more components up. And I would think the right thing to do is to offer to pay for the repairs and the return shipping. [/QUOTE]
