If you haven't even listened to his amp, how would you know if something Worth it? It's like me saying, it's not worth it to go to visit Universal Studio. But, I have never even been to The Universal Studio all my life. How would I know whether it's worth it. It doesn't really make sense does it? Just a thought.

I'm done argueing but one could evaluate the pros/cons of going to Universal Studios compared to another destination and decide which place is "worth" going to.

I just hope Xin knows he is losing out on business by taking this long on amps. If I could order one this month and have it within 30 days I'd be all for getting one of his, but for someone who wants a decent "first" amp, I'm not waiting 6+ months.

it "separates the wheat from the chaff" - those who end up getting a xin amp shipped to their door from XiN are, as you say, the sole survivors of an apocolyptic struggle, those who dont, "folded under questioning" during the eons that passed.

thats why you get a whole lot more than just the amp when it arrives. you get the lifestyle and respect of your peers!

it doesnt make you a bad person if you cant hack the wait, hell i feel like that each day - but wouldnt cancel, and am even gonna order a supermicro IV just cause i havent had enough punishment with the reference saga

Just as a shot in the dark question fishing for a few attempts at how long do you really think my Xin amp will take to get to the front door; I'm only at or around the 3 - 4 month waiting time, so my guess is close to a total time of a year before I'll see my Supermicro IV. Based on the fact that there doesn't seem to be too much activity on people receiving their amps on the forum and added to that 6+ month buyers seem to be in abundance here. Would that be a realistic guess; 1 year of total time before I'm going to see my Xin amp?

I'd say no one knows, perhaps he'll go "eureka!" in the coming week and start building/shipping amps in a frenzy, or we may not hear from him again for x months more.
Your guess is as good as mine, although I hope mine is closer to the truth.

His orders must have shot up. Back in the day a few years ago, I asked him about my SM3 and something about rocket fuel.
He sent me a huge reply in days.

 

[aluren]

he also haven't posted replies on his own website for awhile... someone go knock at his door and check up on him!

My friend once said, " Ignorance is a Bliss!"

I've heard many of Xin's amps (with endless opamp combinations

). I actually have a Supermini IV with me right now (I give it back this weekend, maybe

).

The complete lack of communication is the problem, three emails with no reply (about payment and changing shipping address). I move residence frequently, both national and international, I don't have time to monitor Xin's manufacturing processes or worry about changing the shipping address.

While I can admire the size and sound of his amps, they just aren't good enough for me to hassle over.

i see this is the best place to come across xin reference and hornets so would some one give me a short comparison between the two ,which is more capable to drive larger headphones .with regards to the sq i am sure both are good.

Yes, Dr. Xin charges the CC right at shipping time. It could take 6 months!

You can add me to the list. I lost all willpower to resist and ordered a supermicro.

After all most 7 months of waiting I am not expecting anything anymore; I am comfortably numb and I think that's the way to go to survive

sounds like a good defence mechanism
