I just got around to reading the note included with the amp, which states -
"I took the liberty of shipping the first batch of amplifiers through Express Mail Shipping, at my expense. I wanted all my new customers to avoid having to wait the whole weekend before getting a chance to hear their new amplifier. I am also very excited to hear what everyone's first impressions are.... I have found that the new Black Gate capacitors are going to require a lot of burn in. Please be patient and allow your new amplifier to develop into its full potential."
Apparently Cesar is quite proud of his new creation
