I emailed for some tehnical support and the man Xin himself replied the next day. Perhaps he ignores email concerning orders?

this was the case for me too. i had a question about opamp rolling before i ordered the amp. he replied a day after my email. but after i ordered, i asked him about delivery date and got no reponse. i guess he really didn't know when he can start shipping the amps out and telling us that he didn't know would hurt his reputation as a business person.

Yeah but I thought that having you cc charged was the indication he had shipped you order. I guess maybe the upgrade threw that off? Because he wont respond to my email I have no idea if he shipped my amp, and it got lost in trasit.

here's the latest from dr. xin on his website:

"Orders placed on 7/1 or earlier will mostly be shipped this week. These orders were actually processed more than a week ago, but I stopped shipping right after, due to the latest tweaks. Sorry I did charge the credit cards as I was not expecting such a holding of shipping.

Although the changes are big on sound, they look almost no difference.

The SuperMacro-IV amps shipped on 7/24 have all the critical changes except one last tweak. This last tweak is not critical at all and you may send them back for free upgrading at no rush if you do want the sound to be perfect (really 3D sound stage without any stress)."

d'oh! 7/05 order...maybe next week?

i'd hate to get these 7/24 SMs since i would always feel just a bit inadequate without that last bit of tweaking...but then i'd be wary of sending it back only to wait another month...

 

[aluren]

i know what you mean! everytime he announces a new tweak, we get the urge to send it back... but on his website, he said that its 99.9999% done. so looks like any new tweaks would improve sound at a minimal standpoint... i'm glad at least he's working on our orders now instead of tweaking the amp and our delivery dates...

Its like computers. You could spend a lot of money on a cutting-edge model tomorrow or wait a few months and get the same computer for 75% of the price.
It doesn't matter when you get your Xin amp, it'll be behind the models being made by Xin the moment he sends yours out.
