Technically yes @ 35 years. But of course that is too long, and THIS has been too long. Heck my interest in Head-Fi has dwindled since the time I last looked/read about this Storm etc. But delivering a product is delivering a product. I AGREE it's been too long. Wakey, wakey, I'm still waiting! I'm only restating that he's not a scammer, just out to run off with people's money. This is based on ~1.5 years chatting/interactions with him. making suggestions, talking as a friend. And all the while, I heard many and varied stories to the contrary, based on information gathered from secondary sources and hearsay. I'm aware of the reasons the DACs took so long. Reasons direct from the horses mouth. And I've said them several times. But they were all assumed to be lies. Of course, once those issues were sorted and manufacture attained some kind of 'normality', delays of more than say a month are really beyond the limits of customers' patience. So I'm REALLY curious about what ppl will think of the DACs now they are finally getting out there, but MORE importantly - how Ken will cope with any future orders. That will be the key indicator of how he carries out business from now on - now that the manufacture process is apparently 'stabilized'
