I wish people would post something here. Every time I check the list and there is no traffic, I think to myself: "If they don't care, why should I?" I am still debating ending Wiard after the current orders are complete. What is the point of killing myself, if the user's can't ev

Hi All Ok, looks like this topic is gaining some traction (and without friction there is no heat!) ;'> i know for a fact that Grant looks to this forum as a gauge of the relevance of this, let's face it, FOOLHARDY venture that he embarked on back in 1998. i've said it many times

Why another aproach Wiard vs Serge? Sorry but i really don't get this. Both are good stuff and it is kinda lame to flame about this. Cheers, Dennis On Thu, Dec 11, 2008 at 2:21 AM, John Mahoney jmahoney@gate.net > wrote: At 04:31 PM 12/10/2008, Mark Griffiths wrote: >[snip] >Some

Hi everyone. This is my first post!. =) After seeing the recent discussion, I just couldn't resist... I really appreciate Grant's decision to keep Wiard's prices as they are and limit his customers' annual orders. It touched a nerve with me regarding, well... I make my living as

Hi, so far I've resisted the temptation to say anything. But then I can resist anything but temptation. Some of the replies have been very interesting but I really don't think Grant was asking us. Or indeed asking us to help him restructure his business. He's letting his customer

2008-12-10 by Dennis Verschoor
IMHO it is apples vs peaches. The Wiard modular is a great modular so is the Serge. I got both and i wouldn't mis one for the other. Both got their own charm and you just can not compare 6 Wiard modules vs and x amount of Serge modules. Serge doesn't got vactrol filters/gates, wa

By pricing such a quality product where its at you have created this "problem". In order to get a comparable Serge system with the functionality of a 6 unit Wiard panel one would need to spend on the order of 8000. The Wiard would be almost half that. Your margins are so low you

not that anyone can predict the future but is it kinda safe to say that if your backed up with orders for the next 2 years that you'll still be ready to crank out a whole new batch of orders in 2011? i admire your modules very much and would love the chance to get some but can't
