It is complicated. Yes, I would guess it should be moved.

Just sent the good doctor and email about upgrading my old V6.2c supermini to a Supermini IV with op-amp rolling and other good stuff like that.
Fingers crossed
You could send it to me. I will keep it safe for several years or until Xin re-emerges. This way you could join the line of other people waiting, plus I would send regular e-mails stating nothing has been done as yet.
How long will this situation have to continue for there to be a general acceptance that the Xin game is over?
I'm a bit surprised, given that Xin's address was posted on these forums quite a long time ago, that no-one yet has reported knocking on his front door and just seeing what is to be seen there. For all we know he could have gone back to China. I've maybe lost track. How long is it since anyone received hardware from him (as opposed to emails)?

Even if he was around that would never have happened. The amps can't be upgraded like that as it requires replacing everything inside. With the III amps he could do some modifications bringing them close to IV status but not entirely. He did offer a trade in price for the older amps but for the SuperMini line it was something like $25 so you would have been better off selling the old anf buying a new. All of this naturally would only apply if he was actually around.
