Might as well stick a fork in it, it's done

It seems that, "If you are still owed a refund by Ken, we will be posting contact information here so we can address this in an organized and professional manner" does not clearly state that a replacement product is coming. There may be other ways to address this?? credit toward an...

Thanks you for your response, and interest in addressing refunds due.

Well, gotta admit I was somewhat optomistic that things were going to happen. If Ken is still trying to get more kinks out, then good luck to him. no news is not good news

Has anyone else received their Pandora other than Omom, or a tracking number?

I am willing to chip in and pay for proper packing. Otherwise I will be interested in the initial impressions. I am guardedly optimistic that more Pandoras are on the way.

FYI from the Storm-Audio website "The FIRST batch of Pandora DACs is shipping out,it will finish all shipping in coming week,please be patience if you still dont have Email about tracking number!" Last Updated ( Tuesday, 28 August 2007 )

nothing

Superpredator, Well said. Lets move on and see what happens next. The ball is in Ken's court. By the way. From wikipedia; "Pandora's "Box" has become a metaphor for the unanticipated and irreversible consequences of decisions" seems to fit the situation doesn't it.

Thanks, obviously I was behind the times on the subject. I was not one of those contacted by Ken Recently. Ron

It looks as if Ken Law is back? I see there is a Storm Audio Pandora available at Coem audio. The picture on the Australia site looks as if it is the same case that was on the D02a. Ron

Lin LI from MHDT labs responded to my e mail within 10 minutes. wow. anyway I found the problem. Cables. Back to listening thanks

Anyone have this problem? Paradisea will not recognize a source from the toslink, BNC or rca input. The red and green lights are lit up and the tube is glowing. Have only had this thing in use for about 80 hours. Thanks Ron By the way, I really enjow the sound from this little DAC.

Check this place out http://www.audiotubes.com/6dj8.htm I have bought a few tubes here, has good explanations My favorites were Amperex and Siemens Ron

Well, of course YMMV My listening session was about 2, 2 hour sessions. I hope that psychoacoustics did not play too big of a role. The bass was the only place where the Paradisea clearly excelled over the ack. More emotional experience with P, more definition with the Ack Soundstage...

To chime in I have just received my MHDT Paradisea. I immediately rolled the tube to a WE 396. (by the way rolling the tube is about as difficult as changing an RCA cable. It is easy to get to) I can only compare to three other DACs 1) the DAC in my Denon HT receiver 3805 (yuck) 2) Internal...

There is a great tube buffer for sale at audiogon http://cls.audiogon.com/cgi-bin/cls....wek&1165533072 I have one of the "higher up models" and it is great. I have 4 pieces of space tech gear and have no thougts of changing. This TB has been on A'gon awhile so may take offer?? Good Luck! Ron

After being unable to weather the "Storm" and sinking $512 leagues under the sea, I ordered a Paradisea (436 plus 35 ship) and a WE396A tube, will post a few comments after I get it. I will be sourcing it with a Boulder digital and elpac modified SB3. Buddy has an Ack, so should be able to...

I completed my donation to the Storm Digital D02A fund on 7/29/06, I was order #25. Ron I guess I need to start DAC shopping again
