A letter from Dr. Xin - Page 4

Xin no longer answers my emails. He appears to have severed all ties. I was concerned at one time and was able to contact a neighbor who saw him all the time and said he was fine. Why he has done what he has, in anyone's guess. He still keeps his fixup.net site going, so he is paying for it but why, I don't know. I just went there yesterday and it just feels odd, like I am visiting something dead and strangely, I get claustrophobic and come back here or do some work. Yes, we used to correspond all the time and we have dined together and shared some good talk but much stranger things have happened in this world of ours. Maybe someday, after all, there's always hope. lol

I got this message fron Xin Feng today
A package was shipped to you on 04/13/2011 via U.S. Postal Service First-Class to the following address: I sent my supermini iv to him a long time ago to fix wow Im getting it back thanks

how long ago did you send it to him?

 

At this point there's really no excuse.  Even some bizarre health situation should be explained at this point instead of randomly fixing an amp every 3 months with no other contact.  The only excuse I can think of is if he was abducted by aliens and they are probing his brain and using his customer contacts to send miniature space ships out all over the world disguised as amplifiers.

 

in which case I hope Fox Maulder has a file labeled "Xin" in his drawer.

You think? 

 

That would explain a lot. 

wangch I do hope you get your amp back. Sadly I like jamato8 have not been able to get in touch with Xin.

Whatever happen to this order?  It was posted on 11/8/2010.  He should have it by now.  If not it is another scam.

The Ibasso products trump Xins stuff there is no reason to waste your time with this guy if he even exists. Sorry but I ordered a Xin amp along time ago and never received it if he was a serious business he would hire a few people fill all the orders and
make things right.

I thought of selling my supermacro a week ago as I've been using D10+sysconcept+iriver the past year. I prematurely posted an IC on the sale forum, and got some ridiculous offers (monstrous offers!). In the process, I decided to check that the amp was working and ended up listening for hours and hours as I've rediscovered the warmth sound.

 

Needless to say, I've reconsidered my post and decided to keep supermacro 4 along with my sr71, d10 and supermini. It's difficult to describe the sound and convenience (It's ABC for those that has experience) of a supermacro unless one has tested it. I consider this  a special gadget along with denon dcp100..

 

I feel for those who ordered and never got one.. but to be honest, it takes a giant leap for the rest to trump this one..

 

it's been fun lurking since 2003 and how head-fi has changed.. i remember the days when a simple choice was between a ray samuels and xin's product.. kinda regret my decision to pass on the supermicro versions.. ahh well.. my supermacro will do..

agree. I sold pretty much of all my amps (including sr71, sr71a) except Supermicro, fi.quest and D10. Xin producst just seems to have that magical warmth touch to the sound which i can't find in other amps

The thing is, is that there are several versions of the Reference and so the sound goes though you might not be able to detect a great difference as it is subtle

Indeed. Whether it really is Xin or not, would you go ahead and order from someone who has taken years to even reply to your order?
