Right on, GouldPhoto! Prepare to be astonished, relieved you didn't spend more, spoiled, and eventually, sympathetic for those who don't have one. (That's not a jab at folks enduring the wait post order - I'm talking about those who will never want or enjoy the SQ we're enjoying.) Did yours come with the updated case with "Arrow HE" lasered on the side?

Dangit... My 3/23/10 order still hasn't come. lol. Lucky!

Are you sure you ordered the 4th April, because from what Robert told me, new orders would be shipping end of May...

I actually ordered mine end of March, but I need to send back my old Lyrix first, before I get the Arrow...

That is quite the emotional range. I already hit the following:

• Astonished - When I truly realized how small and well built the amp is
• Relieved - That I didn't spend the extra $100+ for some other slim amps.

More to come...

It has been a fun wait, reading the impressions and anxiety of receipt.

It came with the current black stealth case. Laser engraved case sent separately. Waiting for a full charge then adjourn to the comfy chair and start listening and flipping switches till the optimal sound is found.

I just dropped by my office and saw the package!!

Charging it right now... I have a 3 hour class in about an hour, so I'll get to listen to it after class, which unfortunately, wont be for another 6 hours, but oh well.

The amp itself really is remarkably small. It's longer than my previous Nuforce Icon Mobile, but it's not large to the point where it'll bother me.

The switches on the amp itself are alot more sturdy than they look. I was afraid they'd be flimsy, but they're not at all.

The Arrow I received is in the all black case. The website says the new Arrow case is to ship though. One other little thing I didn't expect, but was included in the package was a strip of that "Powerstrip" stuff in addition to the 4 velcro circles, which is nice if I plan on attaching the amp to my ipod. I'm excited!

edit: I realized it says right on the site that it'll include the powerstrips. lol.

Order Date: 3/23/10
Receive Date: 5/3/10

@ PhotoGould and PANGES, head over to the Arrow Reviews thread after you've spent some quality time with yours.

Excellent!! You'll find it isn't anemic though.

Enjoy, Whuwhere. You've been waiting a long time.

 

[h20buzz]

I've been trying to avoid this thread like the plague <not working>. It's making me even more anxious to see mine arrive.

 

[wuwhere]

I'll let it burn-in first before doing some serious listening.

 

[Mediaogre]

This may take a few days, I would like to familiar myself first with its sound then do some quick comparisons with my other portable amps.

That's one month plus transit time. I'm looking at the envelope, it was supposed to be shipped on April 10th but the post mark on the envelope says April 27th. Go figure.
