With Xmas around the corner I am afraid Alessandro may have actually ran out of stock

I am for sure going to pick up a pair of MS1 in January (stock permitting). I was wondering what ppl thought of the combination of MS1 and Ray Samuels Tomahawk amp?

Would I be silly to get a Tomahawk over a Hornet for the sake of slightly better portability?

I think MS-1 would synergy well with an RSA Tomahawk. MS-1 is a sensitive easily driven cans and Tomahawks are designed for sensitive IEMs. Makes sense

I would get the Tomahawk over the Hornet for simply personal reasons.

For really stealthy portability, the black version of the Tomahawk should be called the AGM-129A!!

Yep the Tomahawk have such a slim profile

So who's been waiting for their MS1's the longest? I ordered mine two weeks ago and according to my bank account, it still hasn't shipped. It looks like my two week wait so far is nothing compared to some others lately.

 

[Kaaspeer]

Wow that really sucks... When I ordered mine they came here within 5 days.
Guess I'm just damn lucky

I'm a day short of having ordered them two weeks ago. I'm going crazy waiting

 

[Abouna]

Well that's pretty discouraging. I'm tempted to cancel my order. My family spent a couple days last week trying to order a pair for me as a gift. Several emails and phone messages went unanswered. The last email read something like this (paraphrasing):

"..sent you several emails with no answer and left voicemail since the message says someone will call me back. Haven't heard back either via email or voicemail..."

the answer, again paraphrased here:

"If you need to contact us please feel free to contact us either via email or phone we will get back to you..."!

As I said, not very encouraging. I realize they are probably swamped but this is not very professional.

 

[incognitoedleon]

Earlier in the thread, it was mentioned that they were backordered. That's why it's taking forever to ship. I don't really mind the wait since it's just for a seperate audio setup I'm putting together, but I can understand why this is driving some folks nuts.

Yep usually a phone call is what you need to get them moving. Remember that headphones are NOT Alessandro main business. They sell amps for musician full time and have VERY limited staffs.

 

[F107plus5]

Yeah....I may have to give Alessandro a call myself. Actually; a call to Grado.....maybe....maybe not.

I just took my MS-1s back from the kids.

Ok, ok, what's a better recipe for disaster than letting a bunch of kids aged 5 through 12 use your beloved MS-1s on a computer, when the computer chair is on wheels AND rotates?

They look bad, but no opens and no shorts, and a quick listening test indicates both channels operating OK.

Yup....might have to send the cans in for a new cable. Maybe, maybe not....gotta look at them in the light of a new day.

 

[fraseyboy]

I've been waiting 20 days... And it doesn't look like I'll be getting them before christmas...
