We are one component short from starting mass production: the ALPS potentiometer, we just receive an unbelievable schedule from our supplier after several delays. If we fall back to the old volume control, we can start the production immediately, but we spend a lot of time to design the new volume control, so we are looking for different options now.

Thanks Andy appreciate the update!

I just got me a HA 300 , I have a long drive to pick it up and of course I’m really looking forward to it , haven’t used tube based component for at least 15 years .
As for the revised HA 300 apparently it will be available June 2022 according to John Cayins international marketing director.

 

[rmsanger]

Did you get The one that was listed in Portland ? If so I was eying it for some time just didn’t want to make the drive.

Another 6 months delay. The industry really isn't al too well at the Moment.
Most releases suffer serious delays

Ouch that will hurt the prospects of me buying one... I know a used tube amp or the Feliks envy is going to tickle me to purchase sooner than that.

ThanatosVI I also was waiting for the launch of the Rockna Wavelight server after months of delays though I received a reply from Nicolae . He said the Wavelight will finally be available end of 1st quarter 2022.
A local Rockna dealer has a Rockna Net 2021 model coming in on a trade I put a down payment on and it’s black to match the rest of my stuff except my Ha 300.

Of course once Cayin make available the HA 300 MK 2 apparently in June 2022 offering it in that so sexy black I have no choice but to get one .

Yeah I pre ordered the Wavelight Server 13 months ago.
However the Story for the Wavelight is, that it required a complete redesign due to the AKM Incident.

The Wavelight Server we will receive early next year is a different Design than the one planned last year.
The new design Was sheduled for completion two weeks ago and the Servers should now enter production for the Release.

After the Wavelight Server, Nicolae will work on the Hybrid Mode for the Wavelight DAC (in addition to the R2R Mode it has now)

I'm looking forward to the Black Cayin releases, even though I probably won't buy any of those.

The Feliks Envy will release soon (it's actually also delayed and should have been released last month). Which is Aesthetically very pleasing.

And there are also two other tube amplifiers on the horizon till Q2 2022.

Can't own them all...

So recently, I was hearing random pitchy hums on my Ha-300, and I suspect it was because my Western Electric 300b started to leak gas. It suppose to glow blue in darkness in the top bubble, not through the entire globe. Both of the we300b's are glowing blue through the whole tube.

I have since gotten a replacement from Western Electric, but now I have a faint electrical hum, more from the right channel. Strangely, the left 300b (both tubes are 1 week old at this point) is now exhibiting the blue glow thru the whole globe again.

What's going on here? Is something wrong with my ha-300 again?

Blue glow from WE‘s 300B tubes are normal. If there’s a leak, the blue color will be more towards “real” blue rather than purple-blue.

Yes, but per customer support, the gas shouldn't go pass the top portion. These are the tubes they replaced. It's not that bright in real life, it's just my phone is crazy good in low light, but you can see the gas inside the whole tube. When they saw the photo, they sent me the new ones in the previous photo.

 

[jambaj0e]

This is how it looked first night I installed the replacement tubes. Notice the glow is only at the top.

 

[ThanatosVI]

I'm really sorry for your tube issues, but appreciate these pictures.

Even if they shouldn't glow like that, it looks magnificent!
