Dr. Xin Is Back!

[tk3]

Let's hope he is busy building and shipping out a batch soon.

I'd hope he realizes reputations are a lot easier to destroy then rebuild.

Perhaps those with alternative means of contacting him can verify if he's really back?

 

[aluren]

perhaps he can introduce something new, get everybody's money, then hide out for another 12 months.

Yes, he is back.

In anycase, it's amazing this place is giving him as much credit as he's getting. Who cares if his products are even decent...they're not good enough to warrant a 14 month+ wait. Nobody's are, especially now a days with so many other options from companies who are actually caring of theIr customers and make great products that even look better, are built better and are cheaper!

The only viable reason for purchasing one, is if you REALLY need the small form factor of the SMIV, and have an amp to get your through then (all the other amps are of comparable sizes AND SQ to others, so why would you even bother?). Even still, you have to hope your CC doesn't expire before your order gets processed. Haha.

Exactly. I only want it for the small form factor. I have several amps to use, and if some day the guy ships me a Super Micro IV great, if not then I lose nothing. I did warn him my credit card expires in November. I tried to buy a used one for $250 but was outbid at over $275. I don't need it bad enough to pay that much. No rush, fortunately.

Was it a Micro IV for 275? The newest Micro will be slightly different but no idea how soon they will be out.

Does that mean the Reference has some new changes?

Yeah, Super Micro IV. Any news you have I would love to receive. Can you explain?

 

[jamato8]

I am sorry, I was thinking of the Micro before the last change and now I realize that it was implemented but that not many went out. That was the change around last December.

 

[Kabeer]

Has anyone actually received an email reply from Dr. Xin since his post? (i havent)

Because if you havent, then his idea of prompt reply is not that good.

 

[jpnz]

I've received a very quick reply within 7 minutes, so i guess that is a good sign..

 

[tk3]

What did he say?
I sent him an email also a few days ago, but haven't had a reply.

 

[jpnz]

I've asked him with detailed information to send my supermicro IV. He replied:
"I will, thank you, Xin"
