I just checked out the new site and one welcome change as mentioned before in the thread is that the shipping cost has decreased, radically for us that lives in Europe!
I'm just about to order a pair of 34647 Diaphragm to my 604, but even though I trust GPA and have done several business with them and Bill before, can I still rely on that the diaphragms actually are made with original tools etc. and not manufactured by some 3:rd party company somewhere?
Because GPA is still expensive, and alternatives like Radian for example are available everywhere for less money. But If posssible I would like original, or next to original (GPA), IF they still do them as they used to.
From Todd's earlier post he said that Bill sold GPA. So that would mean the tooling as well. They have always stand by their products and I don't see any reason to worry. If they look suspect and you made them aware. I'm sure they would refund your money on a return. The shipping to Europe has decreased because they are now shipping from Spain for Europe purchases. Clearly states on their website 100% Guaranteed for a full refund if returned within 30 days.Originally Posted by quaramon
Yes, thanks for quick reply.
As I wrote, I've had a lot of respect for GPA and previously had personal contact with Bill (and Todd too, long time ago, by all means), and I've bought for several thousand dollars from them over the years (despite shipping costs and VAT to Sweden...).I just wanted to hear a secondary opinion, so to speak.
So I guess I push the button then and buy a pair of HF-diaphragms to my 604 for total $378 (which is half the price before they opened a Europe reseller!).
I would want to measure the performance after installing.
I hope you give us some feedback when you get them.
Which drivers are you installing these in?
