Well I just got a reply from Mike Liang. Said they had some production delays so you might be right. Should ship within 10 days :) Anyone blow a fuse with the short cord. Looking for a pattern.

Placed my order on May 3rd.  Just sent an e-mail requesting an update.    On another note: you guys that have blown fuses, are you using the new short cord or the original one from the amp?
