Strike a light! One year and 2 weeks after placing my order I've just received an e-mail from Xin. My SuperMicro is ready, but my bank card long since expired. New details have been provided and I should at long last have my amp.

1 year today my order was placed

Does anyone know the last time a SuperMicro was delivered? Has he just given up on non-Reference models altogether?

These were my pre-head-fi headphones and while they're not up to par with some of the others I use these days, they still do get a fair amount of head time. I find that they're perfect when I want to passively listen to music without it intruding and disctracting me from whatever it is I'm...

Tired to guess how many (and which) guitar trades/purchases Jahn would have to post on the curse thread when we finally came back up

People from my town are called sand dancers.

I checked my original e-mail order yesterday and saw that my order actually went in on 2nd March. So yesterday was dead on 7 months. Still no sign

The magic, I believe, is in the tape hiss. No useful advice, sorry

Passed the 6 month mark about a week ago. Still no e-mail or amp

Yup, Regina Spektor. She was the sweetest, most adorable person think I've ever met.

I've never heard the GS1000s or UE11s so can't comment on them, but I do have the RS1s and UE10s. I got my K1000s after the RS1s and tended to listen to those for home use and the RS1s started getting a little neglected, but lately (last 2 or 3 months) I've not had my home rigs set up and...

I e-mailed Xin about my early March order for a SuperMicro and got a reply a couple of days ago. "Hi Tony, sorry for the delay. Have been working on some changes, working on the orders now. Thank you, Xin"

My SuperMicro IV has been on order since early March and I'm still waiting. Sent an e-mail a coulple of weeks ago asking for an ETA, but never got a reply. Thinking about just forgetting about it and getting a Tomahawk.

This is something that comes up quite a lot and it always interests me since I'm in the same boat. I was familiar with a fair bit of the more popular stuff and spent a long while listening to Classic FM pretty much exclusively on the commute in the car everyday. I stopped for a while though and...

I was happy with the bowls that came with my RS-1, but after a while I started to get curious about flats (in no small part to all the threads debating the issue on here) so picked up a pair going cheap from the FS forum. I put them on and thought it was an immediate improvement. There was...

Thanks, I'll check it out. I came across this link a while back, but had forgotten all about it. Seems promising. From there I found a link to the guy selling the kit to do all the upgrades: http://www.audiomagus.com/index.php?...id=27&vmcchk=1 Think I'll start there. I've found...

*this is kind of crossposted from a thread in the in the amps forum, but I figured this would be a more apprpriate place for it. I've got a Trends TA-10 that I'm using with my K1000s and am pretty happy with it. I've got 4.7 ohm resistors jumping the speaker terminals. Does anyone have any...

I've got a Trends TA-10 and am pretty happy with it. I've got 4.7 ohm resistors jumping the terminals on mine and I did notice an improvement with them. Does anyone have any info on modding this amp? I'm happy enough with it that I'm not likely (at least in the near future) to be spending...

Regina Spektor!
