Got any butter on ya Michael?

Real, powdered or that artificial oily stuff used at movie theaters that the cockroaches and Cher will be sharing after a nuclear war?

 

[longbowbbs]

The oily stuff of course!

well, it's been quite a wait, but we are off and running, first some pics :
 
the box is till cold from the mail truck

 
the lps4

 
i'm #104

 

 

 
hookup

 
fired up (don't worry, that's just a hand smudge on the lps)

 
making sweet music

 
set up straight forward, simple, i briefly went over driver installation instructions, i thought i'd seen some had issues when that, but no troubles, (maybe it was firmware installation)
so far(30-45 minutes) its smooth as silk, and sounds killer, more to come.........

glad to do it !

Confirmed that the Pulse SE and Infinity will get new the new chassis design to match the HPA. Sweet!

Also reopened the Xfi to Infinity upgrade for a week.

See Gavin's latest update.

Cheers

Hohoho, new casing for the X infinite and SE

 

[Levanter]

New chassis new chassis new chassis!

It's interesting how they're designed to be opposite one another. I'd like to see them stacked, but the fact that they're inverted from the other may provide a pleasing aesthetic.

Only for us Infinity backers.
 
"ADDED BONUS: All Pulse Infinity backers get an automatic upgraded chassis, designed by Kayla and Brody (see our update). We really want to make these special because theyre not going to make it into the retail channel. Don’t wait on this one!" (emphasis mine)
 
The highlighted part is interesting. Basically means that the Infinity is basically a Limited Edition for campaign backers only which should push up resale value up quite a bit!

Well sure it's a limited edition. The retail versions won't have the naked resistors or the THD tweaks. It'll probably have the AQ2M eventually, if not at retail launch, but there are things we've backed that won't make it to shelves.
 
I'm really happy that they made this call. It makes the waiting for the Infinity easier knowing that we're getting the retail housing.

Agree Brian!

And so glad to see the XLR connector in the mockup is actually the correct 4-pin version!

Great...where am I supposed to put that again? D:

Jay, just curious, did you get a shipping notice/tracking number before it arrived or did it just randomly show up one day?
 
(it will still be a while before they get to mine; 286 or something like that)
