    Those who waiting Xin amp, post and get your date of arrival !

    Joined the 9 month club last week, so I'm hopeful that I'll soon be getting my prize. Here's the kicker though - I ordered a Supermicro IV. So far, it seems to be all Reference. So here's the 2 part question - do I try to change my order or will that move me to the back of the Reference line...

    Those who waiting Xin amp, post and get your date of arrival !

    Ordered Supermicro on April 9. Not too upset about it since I've gotten the chance to get to know my Hornet better. Great little amp with the ER-4S and Imod. Trying to figure out if I actually need to pull the trigger on the UE-10s. Probably...

    Oooooooh, everyone is getting theirs. Hopefully mine is waiting in my inbox at work so I can have something to look forward to upon my return to the office tomorrow. Come onnnnnnnnnnnnnnnn lucky Thursday!

    Pure. Effing. Hotness. Thanks Mr. Samuels. Looking forward to the Hornet (and I now have enough of a bright spot to make me think that everything might just be OK).

    Just out of curiosity Morph201, what is your portable headphone amp of choice? Regardless, come on Hornet!

    Drag, but I guess I can look at it as a post-finals "good job" or something. I've waited this long, what's another week? Come onnnnnnnnnnnnnn May 4!

    Big...nay, HUGE day today for the awaiters of the Hornet "M." Last day of April. Come onnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnn, lucky number 30. Does Ray send email confirmation when he sends out the goods? Come onnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnn email confirmation. I need one bright spot during finals week. Just one.

    I hate to wait...

    I hope not, since there are only 30 days in April. On the bright side, that takes one day away until the end of the month. 4 days, 4 days, 4 days (after today).

    availability of hornets

    There's a recent message on a thread somewhere from Mr. Samuels that states that there will be 200 Hornets by the end of the month (as corroborated by Mr. Legbone). I'm waiting for one myself, and I trust Mr. Samuels based on the accolades he has received on this board. I'm just generally...

    I hate to wait...

    My blood is itching I'm fiending for the Hornet so bad! "By the end of the month" could have meant today! I'm worried about someone on the board popping on and saying something to the effect of "Well, the Hornets seem to be delayed another month." I won't go crazy from that alone, but that plus...

    What Are You Listening To Right Now? [#6]

    23 - Blonde Redhead. Pretty great album, I'm thinking. Just finished listening to Year Zero. I liked it OK...

    SR-71 vs. Hornet - again..

    Hot. Thank you, Mr. Samuels.

    SR-71 vs. Hornet - again..

    Well, it seems as though the decision has been made for me. TTVJ is now out of stock of SR-71s and will not be getting more until August. The Hornet it is! Although, now something else worries me - if TTVJ isn't getting SR-71s until August, and Ray doesn't do anything other than simply send TTVJ...

    SR-71 vs. Hornet - again..

    I'm going through this myself. However, after reading (I think Morph's comment) that the Hornet was better for Rock, that settled it for me. Regardless, I'll probably end up getting the SR-71 to celebrate another round of final exams being done, then compare both while waiting for the...

    Ray Samuels' Headphone Amps

    Yeah, ordered a Supermicro IV last week. Since I'll have time to demo probably every other headphone amp on the market before I get the SM, may as well do it right? Like you, I'm waiting, waiting, waiting (in fact, it seems as though I'm waiting for the exact two amps you're waiting for). I'm...

    Ray Samuels' Headphone Amps

    Whatever the standard color is. I don't think I was given an option, but it doesn't really bother me. Black is nice. This TTVJ site is pretty great. If the Hornet delay takes too long maybe I'll order the SR-71 directly from him and then dare to compare. I've become disheartened by the...

    Ray Samuels' Headphone Amps

    If it's any consolation, Morph, based on the accolades you and others heaped on the SR-71, I wrote to Ray today to see if I could change my Hornet order to an SR-71 (and pay the difference). He informed me that he had no SR-71s in stock, so Hornet it is! I'm not too worried... I am a bit...

    Status of Hornet?

    I had some email exchanges with Ray last week. He told me that a bunch of Hornets were coming in this weekend. Hoping for the best, I sent him some $ via Paypal. Hopefully one of the Hornets has my name on it.

    Can Lovers of the World Unite (to help me...)!

    Alright, so I'm interested in getting a pair of cans like this guy is wearing - - (over the ear type stuff) but this site has me overwhelmed to the point of losing my mind, so I'm hoping if I lay out some parameters I can get some advice from some or all of you. I'm looking to spend around...

    ALO Alternatives?

    Well, I decided to go with the cables of a couple of head-fi locals and go from there. TURBO and Joefosho, I look forward to several hours of use out of your stuff.

    ALO Alternatives?

    Now that I'm in the swing of things, I need to stay on track, so I wanted to ask about cables to go between my Imod and my soon to be received Hornet "M." There seems to be a lot of praise here for ALO cables (specifically the Cryo Mini to Mini, in my case). I'm not much of a DIYer, so I was...

    Review: Portable amp roundup! 56 portable amps reviewed and compared - FINAL update 12-20-10 added RSA SR-71B

    Well, after emailing Ray Samuels (who advised me that he had some Hornets coming by the weekend), I decided to take the plunge and order a Hornet. However, after totaling up the price of the batteries, the shipping, and everything else, it came out to $395. Now I'm wondering if I should have...
