Today marks three weeks since I ordered the Volot. I was told shipping would happen in three weeks so I'm crossing my fingers that I may get a shipping notification either late today or sometime next week. However, I wouldn't be surprised if it ends up being 4 or 5 weeks before shipping given the delays we have already experienced with this product.

Also I'm still eagerly awaiting the sound news review of the Volot. Thought it would be out by now. Has anyone heard anything about this?

I wrote them yesterday and they replied me mine is set to be shipped by the end of next week, being it on "the final testing lap".
1 week delay so it seems, ordered at the release day just like you.
Concerning Soundnews, he was still waiting for the package to arrive last time I inquired him, that was 12 days ago.

Concerning Soundnews ......

Is there any new information?

Is there any new information?

Haven't asked anymore, nothing new so far on the site or on the FB page.

There are no reviews. Now I think - is it worth buying blindly?

I've been waiting for a Soundnews review since 3 weeks ago.

I think a review will probably be posted this week, but I'm not expecting much

Shipping starts next week. We may use it before the review.

Soundnews's reviewer could try a sort of beta version and was enthusiastic about it. One would think the end product should be at least as good. Ofc you never really know until you try, let's hope so.

An update from Soundnews: unfortunately he hasn't received it yet.

Oh my god, it's becoming a reality that shipping is faster than reviews.

Are there customers: is there a track number?

Mine hasn't shipped yet, I guess I'll get an UPS tracking number.

When did you pay? has it been 4 weeks?

When did you pay? has it been 4 weeks?

Almost, 3 and one half, ordered at the release day. Estimated lead time was about 3 weeks.

I asked Vitaly about the OpAmps on the board can be changed and which fuse was installed.

That was his answer:

No, it's forbidden to make any modifications in circuit design.
By default, the device already has a high quality fuse CREATE AUDIO Nano Alloy T Slow Blow Fuse Deluxe Edition
Of course, we have no right to limit you in your desire to experiment, here modifications are allowed)

yep that is what he told me as well... he was expecting to see the new revision arrive ~30 days ago and still hasn't received it (as of 5 days ago). He wouldn't just sit on a product so assume it's just global shipping delays or something at the Flux factory causing backlogs.

In the meantime everything is so quiet Flux-wise. Wonder if they're going to keep their already delayed timeline, it's 4 weeks now.
