Well, I received my Christmas bonus from work last week, so I decided to move up to the lcd-x. Hopefully that means one of you will get your lcd-2 sooner.

They responded to me saying they were hoping to have things sorted by the end of the week, including possibly refunding orders. Figured I'd update just in case anyone cared.

Well I guess I'll join the "contact them about my order group". It is kind of baffling that they haven't had a blanket statement sent out to all people that ordered during the sale, It has to be a huge headache for them to answer all these people one by one.

Same. If you end up calling them and getting an answer I would love to hear it. Faq on paypal says the merchant hasn't claimed the payment yet, so hopefully it just means they haven't gotten to us yet.

Man I ordered Thursday morning, my order still says payment pending. The money was taken out of my account almost immediately I wonder how many they had.

Same.

Just finished packing, Should be fun driving from SLC to Costa Mesa on Saturday. I'm looking forward to seeing all the people that have given me advice over the years, even though I'm not very active on the forum. Sunday is going to be an exciting day. See you guys in SoCal   Also another big...

Thanks for the suggestions. I'll add Yosemite and big sur to the list.

A few friends and I are driving down from utah, and plan to stay the following week. Any advice from those of you in California? The only thing we are set on is making our way up to see the redwoods at some point.

Late 70's. Unfortunately his dad had been sick for some time, and just recently passed away. All I can remember talking to him about is his dad.

It's my last day of work for my current job tomorrow, and I would like to get a cool gift for my boss to show My appreciation for the job and all the good times over the years. The only problem is, I honestly can't think of a gift that would mean something to him. He doesn't like...

You would recommend them then?

Has anyone heard the Nfb-1 and the LC yet? For some reason I remember someone saying they had. Seeing how I purchased the Nfb-1 and am pretty  happy with it is there any reason to keep the LC preorder?

Hmm, read the manual front to back, I wouldn't of even tried if I had known that. I'll have to just have it pluged into the wall when i get home.   http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16842102133    There is the link to it if it helps anyone.

I did move stuff around, and was using a power strip that's probably over 30 years old, whatever it was, I'm glad it happened. Maybe I'll plug it directly into the wall later and see if it was the power strip seeing as it should be a sound degradation.

Last week I ordered a ups for my computer, and I decided to plug in my audio equipment in it as well. I don't know what really changed, but I can't believe how big of an improvement I'm noticing, it's actually blowing my mind. Anyways I'm loving the Ether right now.

  Was just looking at that deal, Considering I have both the nfb-1amp, and the Liquid Carbon on order, I was thinking about canceling my Liquid Carbon order and going for a pair of LCD2's.   Good complement to my ETHER's, Or not worth owning both, opinions?

Did you guys get an auto confirmation when you ordered? I just sent them money on paypal with the requested info. I seem to remember getting an auto confirmation when I ordered my dac, hopefully I didn't screw it up somehow

Well my order is in the process of being placed for the nfb-1amp, I guess i'll hold on to my LC order and see what they both have to offer.

Is anyone able to have a NFB-1/Liquid Carbon shootout anytime soon?

So has the 500 unit cap still not been reached, or has he changed his mind on how many he is making?

Thanks for your reply. I'm currently using the audio gd nfb1 DAC, my main problem is I sold my amp to help fund the Liquid Carbon/Ether so now I only have my Fiio X5/hd650 to listen to since I had my Ether come with the 4pin XLR, and the adapter I ordered won't be here for a while. I guess what...

Liquid Carbon. 

So I'm considering canceling my order of the LC, Is the pairing really that good? Would anybody who has tried the Ether with multiple amps (including the LC) care to comment on how much better it is compared to similarly priced amps. I don't have a very good rig to listen to music until I get an...

Well the more I think about it, the more I realize I may want to use it in the future for portable use, So I may as well get something that won't inhibit the headphones and the DUM cable I already stretched for. So I guess I'll hear some recommendations and see what people like.    Thanks.
