xin's out again! well, he just posted that the "final" tests are done, new parts have been ordered, and the newest batches will all receive the final tweaks (final tweaks as of today, i believe). so, all you pre-july 01 amps, send them back to xin for the upgrades

i hope i get mine before my birthday next month...or else my wife will say that's my b'day present

Oh Man, the wait is driving me nuts.

I listen for at least 5 hours a day and am constantly wishing for my SMacro.

I expected about a month wait and it's only been 3 weeks but I'm finding harder than I though I would. I gues it's because I only have the out on my AV-710 and it just can't drive 880's

Still I do consider myself very lucky that it's only been 3 weeks and will probably only be another 2 or 3 (guessing).

Also it's a big plus that I didn't get it 3 weeks ago and then have to send it back for upgrades, that would suck to me!

When I finally get it I will be so happy that I will feel like buying everyone here a beer.

Going to meditate and practice being patient now.

I ordered my Supermini IV on June 29...still waiting.

 

[stevenkelby]

I was going to say me too!

Then I realised I ordered on JULY 29...

You poor guy, must be going crazy. At least we can come here to whine

At least you have other amps!

 

[aluren]

hmm... most of us are going a little crazy by now. i'm sure this will pay off, as xin already said that the upgrades are worth it. i'll take his word, and the wait, for it.

I just got back from a week's vacation at the lake, and I used the SuperMacro IV extensively. It sounds awesome. I'll send mine back...in 2007...

I've been waiting since June 14th for my amp to be upgraded, and don't feel crazy or whiny. IMHO, Dr. Xin's amps are the real deal, a bargain, and well worth patiently waiting for. The man, like some other audio manufacturers on this and other sites, seemingly stives for perfection in his products. OTOH, it is nice to have a back-up stereo rig or two!

Edit: Amp received on 9/27/2006. Thanks Dr. Xin.

this is my first xin amp but i still knew that there'd be a long wait and periods of uncertainty...i'm glad i picked up another amp a few weeks ago or i probably would be going insane right now. one day it will show up on my front door...one day.

 

[mrarroyo]

I ordered mine a week ago Tuesday (8/8) and I received it today.






















Just kidding!

Well thats how I feel.

Don't get me wrong, I regret nothing and the waiting will just make it sound even sweeter I'm sure.

Nice to know others in the same boat.


Mrarroyo, thanks for the few seconds of false hope!

It seems the tweaking is soon coming to an end according to GOTO,

Quote:

It seems Dr. Xin has the design fixed, but so many parts are replaced that we can assume he's making a new amp for an upgrade. No idea when he's sending out amps.

 

[aluren]

hmm... i bet once he implemented the new parts, there will be other weaknesses that are exposed and we will wait yet again...

i'm gonna bet that i'll be getting my amp 2 and a half months after my ordering date.
