Thanks to Xin, I am saving money- Thank you Xin.

Just had this thought and wanted to put it out there...
...I ordered 3 Xin amps in Sept 07. I am still waiting and I'm
okay with that but I've seen plenty of tempting amps that I've wanted to buy in this waiting time since ordering but have not due to my commitment to Xin.

So in reality, Xin has saved me a ton of money.

Thank you, Xin.

I had to ship all the return amps (for upgrading and repair) first. Xin" Hopefully, this means that he is starting on the backlog of amps ordered, starting with the ones ordered first.

Lemme see if I have this right: You ordered a NEW amp almost one year ago. Now you get a notice that he's returning "upgrade and repair" amps first. OK, I sent in my SM LE IV for all upgrades in August and just received it about four weeks ago. Also ordered a Reference in August. So does this mean I'll finally get my Reference around June-July?

Yikes. Must have over 500 orders for something to take this long

There was a guy who ordered in Sept (post 2174) and got his already (of 2007??).
Who knows what Xin is doing.

I am only a few days away from the 5 month club also.
No word from Xin after he said he would be shipping "soon" in a mail dated end Nov 2007.
Frankly I'm pretty much sick of the waiting, since there is no end in sight.

Hey, i decided id throw my question in here just not to make a new topic for a simple question

Can a Supermacro IV drive higher impediance headphones well (it will be used as a stepping stone for my hd600's until i can get a good source that will make the best out of a good amp) ?

If so ill probably have my xin supermacro here in a week

 

[bluey_02]

Well, I'm closing 9 months. Abso-*****in-lutely ridiculous (counting the fact he ignores my emails) but knowing that others are waiting as long as I have is more assuring than thinking Xin had forgotten all about my SMicro IV order.. thanks I guess.

P.S. 222 pages? Holy crap..someone should show Xin this thread..

I suppose we could email him the URL to the thread but he would ignore that email too

I am totally fed up as well. Emailing him every single freaggin day with no response. Absolutely insane !

Placed my order for a Reference on August 10th...and no emails reply/update during all these time, and by tomorrow I will be in the 5 months club.

Wonder what was his reason for shipping September's orders first, ahead of the August's order?

placed my reference order about the same time as you, and shipped my SM LE IV back for all upgrades. Got the SM LE IV back about three weeks ago or so, but still no word on the Reference.

Go figure?????

I ordered the Reference in Nov 07 - so that's only 2 months. Feels like ages already. Hopefully he can deliver by June before I leave the states.

My SuperMacro 3 was one of those that went in for updates in July, and came back in November around Thanksgiving. I got it from a fellow colorado head-fi user right after that.

I'm not convinced it is anything super special worthy of a 10 months wait, but I wanted to play with the impedance, attenuation, bass boost and cross feed switches. Someday I'll get around to giving it more time, but the other amps I have are as good or better so far. I am not willing yet to give Xin my money to wait a year for a new product, no matter how good his SuperMicro IV or Reference are.
