Is TC Sounds Inc. done forever?

[newusername 10+ year member]

Please be sure to take things with a grain of salt, but maybe the rumours are true....

I've been trying to get in touch with TC Sounds Inc./AudioPulse for a little while. Many people have heard they are moving and others have insisted they are declaring bankruptcy.

So over to the AudioPulse forums I go where I find several interesting posts from a fellow named Kevin from One-Magnet. One-Magnet is a real company, by the way.

Thilo and Christa,

Are you still happy with my USD10280 ? I do not know why you are happy with the USD10280!

Regarding the payment of USD10280, I think you will not transfer it now.

As far as I know, you owed much money to many Chinese companies in the past, for example, Ningbo Xiangyang, ACH and so on.

Thilo and Christa have the worst credit.

So I have to ask the Chinese government to help us. So if you still do not do the payment as soon as possible, in the following days, the China Export & Credit Insurance Corporation will collect the payment for us.

Do the payment of USD10280 AS SOON AS POSSIBLE! Or they will take action !!!!

Please consider the bad reaction if the China government takes action.

1)Thilo Stompler and Christa Stompler will be summonsed.

2)TC Sounds and Audiopulse will be kept in the blacklist by the China custom.

It will be not possible for you to buy anything from China.

In fact, Xiamen One Magnet Electronic Co,.Ltd is large company in China. We have the guild of magnets in China.

If you do not do the payment, all the magnet companies in China, inculded United magnetics Co in Shanghai, will not sell speaker parts to you.

In fact, we are also selling magnets to many trade companies in USA. If you do not do the payment, we will tell

them about your bad payment terms! I am sure they will not be interested with you and your any companies !

DO THE PAYMENT AS SOON AS POSSIBLE ! OR THE CHINA GOVERNMENT WILL TAKE ACTION FOR US.

BY THE WAY, MY FRIENDS IN USA ALSO FIND THE COLLECT AGENCY FOR ME. IF YOU DO NOT DO THE PAYMENT,

YOU WILL BE entangled BY THE AGENCY.

I DO NOT WANT TO TAKE ALL THE ACTIONS ABOVE, BUT YOU ASKED ME TO DO THAT.

I HAVE NO CHOICE !

DO THE PAYMENT AS SOON AS POSSIBLE !

Best Regards

Kevin

I'm waiting on a response to an email I sent to Kevin. Again, we'll see what happens for sure, but things look a bit grim based on the info above.

I find that odd, I thought they just revampt their line and website, but on the other hand they did raise the prices substancially didn't they. that could have been a sign of desperation.

Shady company, but the equipment is great. Its just too bad that they have lost all the good customers way back when they raised prices in order to repay others it seems. Good find.
