Who said they would ship in two weeks?

It was an automatic message in the checkout.

Funny, someone posted yesterday that Robert said they would ship in 5 weeks ...

Let us hope it's two weeks, but there's big chance getting disappointed here I feel.

Yeah, he just wanted to keep it secret for a while longer...
 
Btw, I'm guessing the person getting their Arrow in 2 weeks will get the "old" generation...

any idea if the new generation arrow will sound different from the old?

It's only going to sound 1 million, maybe 2 million times better at most.

@ junien,
 
Please read thoroughly. This is a quote from dfkt just one forum page back about the possible improvements...

It's usually a noise elimination thing, decoupling the power circuitry from the audio circuitry, for example. But since the Arrow really doesn't have any audible noise to speak of, I think the improvements are only visible to the very very very very trained eye

 
 
dfkt has reviewed One Metric Ton of equipment. I trust his word. Robert's improvements will be little details things. He wants to get things perfect, and in this context, "perfect" has room for interpretation. IMO, the current HE12 is about as close as it gets.

Hardly a productive comment.

Sorry, it wasn't meant as a serious comment, I guess I should have added a

S'ok. HEY, people take their Arrows seriously here!

  (Especially those of us who have the "old" one.)

Got a new message from Headphonia today. New order status: Order processing. Whatever that means.

It's true. Us antique collectors don't know the meaning of humor.

Someone heard end of June.
 
@ Everyone asking about lead time and when is this and that coming, etc... these comments belong in the ZOMG CAN I HAS MY ARROWZ YET?! thread that Shauntell47 started.

I was just talking to Robert about the new Arrow and asked about those who have the current Arrow and may want to get a new Arrow, and he said "it will cost about $30 to exchange the old to the new generation (incl. shipping and new battery)."
 
I wonder if it'd be worth it just for the extra headphone jack, better battery, and "better" bass boost.
