that really is a shame, my pint performs almost flawlessly and sounds fantastic for the amount of money it cost me

Unfortunate, really. I hope there is a good alternative at some point. I just got my cmoy parts so I could get back into electronics before tackling the pint. Oh well.

eh. at least i got a couple of boards already.
who knows, maybe this could be an opportunity to revise the board design or something. . . maybe there's something with the board design which could help reduce oscillations or something.
man, apart from the difficulty of making it, the PINT had just about everything good put into one--extremely small, very cheap, and excellent sound. I know there's the mini^3 (hopefully) coming out someday, but that really can't match the size of the PINT.

Dang, I hope the best in future designs.
The PINT was my major motivation into getting me hooked into DIY amps - from the disappointment of no more MINT boards being produced, then waiting eagerly to see what the PINT was up to, getting the boards in the mail, to working on the little PCB.

Time for people to find out tangent's address and then drive over to kowtow in front of his house for 7 days and nights to beg him to reverse his decision

Wow. That's too bad. We all know he puts a lot of time and effort into these projects. Well, gotta repsect him for doing what he believes is the right thing to do. Go, bruddah!

Gah! I needed some boards, too 
This was one of the best portable amps I've ever used, and it offered a serious, inexpensive alternative to the more expensive amps out there.

Well my hybrid broke from I think someone goofing around with it, though I'm not positive who. So I really need a new board to build it back up with

The failure rate is not Tangent's or the designs fault. I think it has to do with people not reading the documentation carefully and then coming on the forums to ask questions that are clearly answered on his site. Part of the problem is people just jumping into the project without enough experience. Who's going to control that? These things even happen with the well documented cmoy design. I'm disappointed that the PINT is now pulled because I just built two the other night without a single problem. Finally got once cased up today that is driving my ksc75s, hd650s, and k701s just fine.
I'll have nightmares about this tonight.

Well will it? Tell me because I can't find out for myself.
I'll seriously buy any boards anyone is not going to use. Especially if tangent won't take my bribe to bring the pint back.
