Justin,

One of the complaints around here for quite some time has been that the actual wait times are always longer than the published wait times. As a potential future buyer who is very interested in a GS-1 or GS-X, this is somewhat disconcerting, as it would be nice to have a better idea about actual wait times at the time of purchase. If the wait times are indeed longer than eight weeks, would it be possible to let us know up front about how long we'll have to wait? I'd be much more comfortable buying your product if that was communicated in the beginning.

Thanks for following this thread. I do think that it shows your dedication to customer service.

Why does someone always feel the need to post completely irrelevant comments like this?

It is a bad habit I picked up from various other places.

Getting back to topic, perhaps this could give interested parties an idea of the general waiting time. A local friend ordered the Gilmore Lite in May and his unit just arrived today so give or take, that is about 6 months. I would probably drop by in his place to take a listen in the near future.

justin's products are solid but the wait times are unreasonable and bear little to no relation to what is stated on the web site. i considered ordering a BHSE but figured it would be so long before i actually received it that it was not worth it. maybe i will pick up one used at some point.

Getting closer in price to the AudioGD Roc, which is going to curb stomp it.

Edit: a beta for $500? Let's see someone do this with retail priced parts, and I'll believe it.

Quality cost!
..and I would suspect the reason (or parts of it) for the price increase comes from higher part costs. Since I assume most of it are imported into the US from Asia or like. With the decreased USD value that is to be expected.

You could comfortably, without breaking a sweat, with custom FPE panels build a SE EHHA and get B22 matchin/beating sound quality while you are at it.

A B22 would be really tough to build at that price.

It's a shame really. I've been trying to pick up a Gilmore Lite used for over a month now, faithfully trolling the site in hopes one would turn up. Each one that came up was gone in hours. The demand is obviously there and I had gotten frustrated to the point where I was ready to stretch my budget to buy a new one at $399. I'm sure it's a good amp but now it's too much for someone looking to get started. Good luck Justine, you obviously know how to build an amp.

Serious Q, why do you think that?

 

[The Monkey]

Well, just look at the thing:

No amp has a chance against that.

 

[nattonrice]

Snap.

I should have guessed that =P

Says you.

 

[driftingbunnies]

lol are you saying that thing is the same as a gilmore lite? because if it isn't, I'm confused as to why you would even post that picture.

My guess is that he's referring to the B-52.

^^

Makes me feel guilty that I got it for such a good price from you vincent =).

It is truly a great sounding amp with my HD600.
