Monoprice Monolith Liquid Platinum - By Alex Cavalli
- Thread starter ufospls2
- Start date
That's why I never trust a release date.Am I the only one that feels like this:
I just take the view of id Software's John Carmack. If it isn't vaporware to begin with, it will eventually be released "when it's done".

This delay is unpleasantly acceptable. However, lack of quality would not be acceptable. A product of high quality is all that matters at the end.

Let's hope not. It would be no earlier than 2019!

I'd wait til 2019 if that ensures the best product Alex and monoprice can produce at that price.

I understand that sometimes Schiit happens, but the repeated delays tell me someone at Monoprice screwed up planning, big time!
Compare that to Massdrop - their collaboration products usually have 6+ months of wait time, but so far (from my personal experience) they ALL shipped on time (couple shipped a few days early). That includes 2 Cavalli amps that I got from them (LCX and CTH)...

As someone who waited through the 1+ year delay for the release of the iBasso It-04, I will say that the wait can be worth it.I understand that sometimes Schiit happens, but the repeated delays tell me someone at Monoprice screwed up planning, big time!

I was trying to make the distinction between:As someone who waited through the 1+ year delay for the release of the iBasso It-04, I will say that the wait can be worth it.
* Massdrop: long wait, but deliver on time
* Monoprice: shorter wait, but keep delaying, over and over, and eventually the wait seem much longer than Massdrop
So, it is all about planning and manufacturing execution! That, and setting the right expectations with customers...

In fact, they said 'Real soon now' and 'within a couple months' several times over the course of 14 months. They actually brought out a whole different IEM (IT-01) first.
