Then it seems to me they are doing experiments constantly, and treat their customers like laboratory rats. I would feel a little bit upset if I had bought an LAu...

 
Certainly doesn't help resale value. This is coming from a former LF owner and current LL owner too.

Picked up both for some comparisons. Should have them done in a few weeks.

We'll see....
 
But remember, I like being tube-less.

You mean the LAu MKII?
 
Just a pattern I've noticed:
 
LF then LF MKII announced (though yet to be released)
LL then LL MKII
LG then LG MKII

 
 
No MH is just being smarmy and forgot the sarcastic smiley. 
 
No LG mk II , No LAu mkII
 
LF will be a mark 2 but only after 4 - 5 runs of the first version and then mostly because of the new chassis design. LL was an upgraded chassis too and Alex decided to redesign the board which improved board capacitances - same amp but better and a new chassis . If you want to be a stickler, mark 2 because of new chassis , seeing as the circuit is the same . So no pattern just more "friendly" banter to spread more of whatever it is that seems to spread.

Hi Don:
 
I'm in a smarmy mood tonight....darn kids fought all night. So I'm taking it out on Head-Fi. 

I did happen to notice this however on the main Cavalli home page in the Announcements Section:
 
"Liquid Glass MKII is on target for shipping right after RMAF. We'll have a pre-production unit there too."

 

[dBel84]

well someone is having fun with numbers then . I can assure you the LG is the same circuit - new board too as alex had to use a 4 layer board but the amp is the same amp as it was before. So don't be fooled. I will check in with Alex but LG owners have nothing to worry about , nothing is really changing - oh except for a little treat that will be dear to me. ( an easter egg as AC calls it ) 

 

[MacedonianHero]

Don, just curious, do you know how many LAu's were in the first run?

 

[dBel84]

I never kept count but iirc it was 30. Most people who have heard it have been blown away by how good it sounds. I think I said this before but it pained me to admit to Alex that it left my beloved LG in its wake. I can see why they were "snapped" up so quickly.

Hello gents. db has pointed out this inconsistency to me. So, to explain...
 
The LL2 is a sufficient change to have named it MKII.Particularly because of the entirely new enclosure design.
 
LG and LAu, however, were born with the new enclosure. I used the MKII label on the website to indicate the second production run. But it is the same electronics with just a change in the top ventilation pattern. So not really a MKII. It won't be labeled a MKII on the enclosure anywhere.
 
The second run of LAu (scheduled for early November) is identical to the first run. No MKII there.
 
I'll fix the website to remove the confusion.

You guys just gave me one of those mini-heart attacks.

Every company is constantly improving...lab rats implies you're getting an unfinished item which is just not the case with Cavalli.

But at the same time, the company should also maintain a healthy product release cycle, which should not be too short. Anyway, as runeight has already explained what's gonna happen, there's no argue here.
