Good question. I'll see if I get an answer.

Big question is, why are you guys out of money?

I'll see if I can get an official answer. I could give a very rough breakdown according to my understanding of the situation, but if I get an "official" answer, I'll post that instead.

Really, if you look around the forums, you'll see the answer. (the answer that LHL gave the money to Light Harmonic is NOT accurate) Various people (including Larry and Gavin) have touched on the management and R&D issues that LHL faced.

To be honest, i am surprised the company is still afloat. I dont think there is a market for LH labs products, at least in the U.S audiophile and headphone market.

My understanding is that those are coming after Pulse campaign gets completed.

I still not getting my Pulse and LPS4 from rewards referral......

 

[Hercules]

Depends on how fast Vi and Source get completed. Probably budget factors in there as well....but I don't know for sure.

Pulse Campagin still not completed......So Vi and Source.....

Larry spent it all on gas driving his white van around finding people to swindle and scam.

Most likely spent too much money on R&D and not shipping product.
You need research grants to play around forever, with out solving problems and shipping products.

i expect if they concentrated on one product and got it going at a time they would have been fine.

Most businesses can only spend 5% of income on R&D, the rest gets eaten up by markets, overhead, materials and people to produce, ship and support a product.

Look at Schiit audio, they have grown to the 21 products in the same time Larry has been messing around, and they are on the 3rd generation of some products.

So it looks like a total management failure.

Spot on, great comparison

They made some bad decisions and had some production issues early on with the Pulses and discovered they were in a hole.
They then decided to keep it quiet and try to dig their way out of the hole - this did not work.
After 5 years of digging said hole, they are now closer to Asia than the entrance of the hole where they started - so they are pivoting to the Asian market.

The complete redesign of the chassis in the middle of everything didn't help anything.

Is lh labs answering tickets? I am looking for firmware....

Edit. Thanks for the response Jarek.

While I wait for my ticket to be answered, does anyone have firmware for the pulse x infinity , new chassis, 1v5 is what I was running before.

Can I check if the RCA/Balanced out are variable? Meaning can adjust the volume as I might be wanting to connect to an active speakers which has no vol. control.

Thanks

Yes, you can selecting any non-zero negative volume values
