Arik told me yesterday that PayPal had frozen his account for no reason and required delivery confirmation on items that were ordered just the day before. He said he couldn't do business that way so he refunded money to those who had already paid him through PayPal for orders that hadn't shipped yet. Said he only accepts bank transfers now.

Bugger that.
Bank transfers are a pain in the ass, expensive and no recourse on disputes.

Yeah.

Hopefully he can work things out with PayPal, or, as I suggested, see if there are any companies over there in Poland that offer credit card merchant services. I can't swing a dead cat without hitting some company hitting me up for it.

Let's hope. I would love one, but of course now I'd be right at the back of the list again which is annoying. I'm not doing a bank transfer any more than I'm doing a western union.

Any more updates on these beauties? Have they gotten the paypal situation straightened out?

That's why we need competition in business. I would imagine if there were viable options to PP in payment SERVICEs then we would see a massive migration from PP. Monopoly in financial anything is NEVER a good thing.

Check out the bottom pic on this page - HeadAmp - Audio Electronics (Blue Hawaii SE Electrostatic Headphone Amp)

I was looking at some pics of the Blue Hawaii and noticed that it uses a pot very similar to the Khozmo. I wonder if it's the same one.....

That one costs about $1200.

Now you know why this Attenator has people looking at it. Plus that Alps is not stepped AFAIK. ALPS RK50

 

[FallenAngel]

That ALPS RK50 is a POT, not a stepped attenuator and is $600 for a dual, haven't seen how much the quad costs.

Nope. It's a conductive plastic pot. Basically a prettier, PC mount version of the Penny & Giles RF15.
