Quaddy, your patience is beyond reproach. I know at one pt I was right behind you with my order and I bowed out about a yr ago. I haven't looked at this thread since, and happened on it today. Wow, is all I can say. I can appreciate your persistence, but when do you throw in the towel? Zin should be ashamed - there is really no excuse for this PERIOD.

In January Dr. Xin said my Super Micro would ship in one more month - haven't heard from him since, even when I changed my order to a Super Mini in March (3 emails).

Kinda reminds me of "Waiting for Godot"

On January 7, 2009, I likewise received an email from Dr. Xin in which he informed me that my Reference would ship in about two weeks. Here it is July 4, 2009, and I'm waiting for July 8 to arrive so that I can post my 23rd month anniversary of having ordered a Reference.

I just checked again, and the "Currently Shipping" order number has still not budged since 1/22/2009 when Dr. Xin last updated it to 39143495 - thankfully just a little lower than my own order number. I'm hoping that the next time Dr. Xin comes up for air from his consulting to build and ship more ordered amps, that my Reference order will be fulfilled. When I post such things, I feel so "Ed Grimley-esque". But then, I AM Ed Grimley-esque, so no harm there.

I can wait because I can live without it. I have plenty of things to entertain me till then. But, if the iBasso T3 is as good as it is reported to be based on the prototypes that are seeded out there, I may get that instead of the Super Mini IV.

 

[hockeyb213]

Well the thing is Xin is not knocking everything out of the ballpark to be worth waiting nearly 2 years to wait. Sure it isn't a problem if you have other stuff to keep you busy but who wants to support that craze?

 

[Quaddy]

thanks for using such kind words to describe this, either that or sheer stubborn stupidity

23 month anniversary today, cant wait for the 2 year reunion next month

23 month anniversary for me today too. The time doesn't seem like it's flying, so I guess I'm not having fun yet.

Greetings, Ed!!!!! I think that the basic thread of this tale is told by the lack of any change since 1/22/2009 of the order number "Currently Shipping" displayed on Xin's website, Xin Feng Company. We're all awaiting another break in Dr. Xin's consulting business where he is able to fulfill another group of his back-logged orders. As far as I know, there is no sign in sight as to when that might be. Does anyone still reading this thread see any signs of when we might expect another batch of Xin amps to be built and shipped?

 

[Scott_Tarlow]

Are these amps that good?

 

[Nailzs]

Not if no one never get their order.

 

[1EyedJack]

I've been on the list since Dec of 2007 (soon after I discovered Head-Fi).
I just put it on the back burner and enjoy all of the other things that Head-Fi has introduced me to.

I sent my SMIV and Mini back for updates over 3 years ago, and they have never been returned. Although I was a very loyal supporter of Dr Xin for several years, my allegiance has now shifted to iBasso, as I find their current amps to be the sonic equal of my Reference, which I sold some time back. Additionally, iBasso customer service is orders of magnitude better than Xins.
