I had stopped checking the thread after I got mine in March. Looks like things are still the same.

May lord give power to the people who are waiting

If you are in a hurry just cancel the order and buy something else. You are bound get very frustrated when you have to wait more than 9-10 months if he ever start to build amps again soon.

Cute...
With absolutely nothing else going on here, Silverrain decides to go trolling and actually gets a bite or two.

Joking posts are spread throughout this thread -- it begs for it sometimes, to lighten-up the somber mood, and help offset the "taps" you can hear playing in the background when reading these recent posts.

A troll post would be something believable posted -- expecting a Xin amp "in a hurry" (or at all, anymore, perhaps?) is not believable, except by rare peeps.

P.S. -- I got mine -- a long time ago.

But did you get the one with the very recent upgrade or the older version?

I messed with Xin amps that were "older than dirt" back in 06 or maybe 05 even -- a pioneer?
No, I have none now.

I used to buy and use headphone amps back when HeadRoom was a "start-up" and pretty much one of the very few places that even had such beasties.
Had to buy from Stereophile magazine ads -- you know, before there was an internet.

So, I hit all the net places as soon as they offered headphone amps -- so, that's getting back there some.

Your "Hi! I'm new here!" (with a post count of 1500+) had me laughing out loud!!! And then when folks started to respond as though it were a serious post ... that was like listening to the Phil Hendry show. It was a good time to interject some well-needed humor into this depressed thread. At least, it was for me, on my screen, to my sense of humor, YMMV ...

The one with the latest most recent upgrade is what I ordered -- I gotta have the best one, right?

On a serious note, I hope some good news comes here, to bring relief to all the patient Xin-watchers.

Is there someone here who has patience left?

I am unfortunately still here waiting. But, I am waiting with frustration and angst. My patience ran out a long time ago.

I'm still waiting without expectation (hence without frustration), continuing on in the cultivation of my rigs with gear from other sources and enjoying what I hear (actually, being amazed by what I am privileged to hear) every day. I wouldn't want to miss out on jamato8's dry humor or the many facets of the Human Comedy (often intertwined with facets of the Human Tragedy) unfolding in this thread. It's also a nice bonus when an occasional Xin communication or Xin amp is reported.

I just hope and pray that Dr. Xin is OK. I don't expect that he is OK. From how MUCH of himself that he has put into his audio developments and making them available to other people to enjoy in the past, it seems to me that something must be pretty wrong for him to be so distant from it now. It would be a relief to me to know that he has just gone off into another "Research Mode" binge (or for that matter that he has just given up his audio pursuit altogether). I don't expect that I'll ever know.
