Meier Audio Porta Corda MkII Followup! - Head-Fi: Covering Headphones, Earphones and Portable Audio

AboveBeyond · 01-01-2005, 11:02 PM

Since the official thread is locked and the groupbuy is over, I would like to make this thread for people to discuss the MKII. Particularly for people to let others know that they've recieved the amp, their reviews of the amp, etc.

I really, really hope that Jude will ship the first U.S. batch Monday because I really need to get the amp in my hands (or rather in my head)! I'm dying over here, I got the power supply just a couple days ago and it needs something to plug in

what power supply did you get?

Guys,if you don't mind I'm moving this to the amplification forums with a redirect from the member's lounge.

I got an Elpac (WP1224-760) 24v. Its much small then I thought, only about the size of a cassette case.

So, what is the latest on shipments? I am number 43 so I am not in this batch..but when can we expect the next one?
Thanks

Jude also had said he would update the Paid list, but I do not see that he has done so yet...thus I am not on there as of yet.

See this why I posted in the Lounge section because I was hoping Jude and the other coordinators would see this thread and give updates. Now that its here, I doubt we'll get an update....

Sorry, everyone, but I took as much time away from the computer as possible over the holidays (because computers = work for me). I'm back today.

The first U.S. batch went out, over a period of two days (I got to the post office, and was told I had to fill out an insurance form for each amp, so I had to come back the next day to send the rest, since I caught them just before closing the first day).

The final order stats will be sent to Jan Meier today or tomorrow (I have a couple of internationals pending), and the final cases sent out a day or two after that from Germany (and then sent from here as soon as they arrive).

I'll update the list when I can. If you know you paid me via PayPal, then you should be fine. One or two guys paid by money order, and should already be on the list.

Happy New Year to you all. If it makes you feel any better, the Porta Corda MkII is a fantastic little amp.

Hooray!

Sweet, thanks for the update Jude!

Oh man, the Corda's on it's way, and my 650's have shipped out... looks like a second XMAS is in store for me
