Yeah, sad but true, over a year for me. I've pretty much given up on Xin. My credit card that I gave has expired in the time I've been on the waiting list. I'd give him a new number, but figure why have it out there in the ethers unnecessarily. It's hard to imagine that he is still in business. If he is, what a way to run a business.
Does anybody know for sure, if Xin is still in business? Maybe he retired and just forgot to tell anyone.
"When Ruthie says come see her in her honky-tonk lagoon, where I can watch her waltz for free 'neath her Panamanian moon. An' I say, "Aw come on now you must know about my dedutante." An' she says, "Your debutante just knows what you need but I know what you waaaant."

I'm a little better--just passed the 13-month anniversary. Also My credit card that I gave has expired in the time. I did ask him if he needs my new card number. As usual he never replies.
Now I consider myself very lucky if eventually he would contact me.
My CC expired as well since I've ordered (10 months). Will see if I'm contacted when and if the amp ever ships.
I've not cancelled as I figure I can always sell the ref if I don't care for it.
But I think it's time to start shopping for an alternative portable-love my HR microstack, but it's pretty heavy to lug around. Perfect for a cigar on the deck though!

It seems like some guy on his forum says he got a reply from Xin recently, so not all hope may be lost yet.

tk3 - I DO NOT see the post on Xin's site you mentioned above . What I do see is where someone has misread a March 2008 response, that was taken to be something more recent. The most accurate postings I can see were put up by Jamato8 - same as here. Until I see something put up by Xin himself......as much as I have liked Xin amps and his customer service, I have to accept that something has happened that precludes him continuing his innovative approach to building amps and providing the service he has freely offered up to sometime in 2007. I fully understand his passion for his audio endeavors.My Reference is a beta I purchased from a beta owner.......and can only look toward his return. If/when he returns I will open my arms to whatever he may offer at that time. I think most of the continued postings I see on this thread are futile, and simply infantile, and vicious in many cases.

Hmmm I dont think I misread it. "rrivera72" posted on 4th of this month, and edited it 2 days ago to say that he is sending his SMIV in after a confirmation email.
Now im not 100% sure this means he actually properly heard from Dr.Xin...waiting till he replies. (see the first sticky in the Support forum).

I was looking for something more recent than 5/4/08 - but wish him all the luck in the world....tho' post not perfectly clear. If so, would wish not to have sold my Supermini IV - knowing the difference between post April 2007 and earlier amps. I would have kept it for updating if I knew the future for sure. ...........and of course, having ordered Reference 6/07 - would have held out for receiving that amp, instead of buying a beta from someone who was lucky enough to have one.

Yeah, that's how I read it too.
Perhaps the original poster will clarify the post soon.

And although this is really a weak point, as Jamato pointed out, someone is clearing up the Spammy posters on the forum as well (within the last few days).
Unless there is another moderator there Xin is for some reason active there. Something seems tres fishy...
