any update on release date, as we are all so eager to get this amp

the distributor in Hong Kong told me late September / early October, which in all likelihood, would be early/mid September for the North American market ??

Any estimate on price?

I'm about to buy another portable tube amp. Need that dense tube sound but can't keep waiting for the CV5.
 
Also have a sinking feeling the price will be in the $7XX range (hope I'm wrong).

LOL, if you can't wait, get a CDM. It comes with a free DAC!

The MSRP was stated in the first post, eh? It's $695, unless something has changed since

Ken mentioned the pre-order price might be lower. Had hoped that would be closer to my $5XX budget but who knows after so many months.

Does anyone know by chance if the Cv5 will recharge via USB?

That was the case in the original version. However Ken said there are some design changes on the final production version so can't be 100% sure.

Hey Guys,
 
Again sorry for the long wait, we are doing a pre order discount now. The retail is $799 but if you order now for a limited time and a limited amount of units we are selling them for $699. I know the price went up a bit but we had some extra costs that increased our end costs.
 
I want to again thank every one for waiting... We are shipping these the first part of October.

i got the e-mail and tried to pre-order but when i do it tells me i wont be able to pre-order until 10/2???

Ugh, bad timing for me. I have exhausted my budget this month. Guess I won't be able to take advantage of this preorder price.

Good luck for those who get it.

That just means the shipping is 10/2, if you order now we will hold one for you but you have to place the order now. Also we may, and probably will ship sooner though. After the pre order period we will start shipping and change to the regular retail price.
