Yeah, this is what I was alluding to earlier about not being sure if D was really the ultimate choice.

Oh well, this should be interesting.

Last year when I was lurking I found the mrarroyo/Vorlon amp comparisons compelling enough to order a SuperMicro IV, though later changing it to a Ref.

By the sound of things I do not think good Dr still done with final layout too.

yours and mine alike brother.

not very helpful is it, considering he is pointing you to a page ("check the status") where the order number was last edited on the [size=xx-small] 11/28/2008[/size]

what are you supposed to glean from that? apart from just keep waiting.

Yes, I have finally and conclusively cancelled my order. I don't beleive that product is ever going to be shipped in meaningful quantyties, he is simple too much of a tweaker to ever go fully from development into a steady production run. Shame really.

Hehe for someone like myself who is impatient I'm sort of surprised this really hasn't bothered me much. I guess his reply to my email, while no useful info, is a sign that he's busy doing something over there...

I can totally understand the frustration. I do have to say that the current sound is exceptional. Where it ends up is anyone's guess but I have to say it will be one of the best and contending with many home amps.

That's great but how many versions will be out before "normal" people get theirs?

I have a feather pillow in my hand. How many feathers does it contain?

That either means, "I Don't Know" or it means an "infinite number of versions first."

The Xin Reference was added to his product range in about September 2007 (correct me on this). Here we are in January 2009, about three delivery promises later, with the design not even finalised and about three variants added to the product range while hardly anyone, apart from favoured testers, has received anything! That is Xin's way of working. At least we can comfort ourselves with the belief that the unobtainable (mythical?) Reference probably sounds better than most of the amps we can actually buy and use.

With the latest increment to his shipping order number he's getting dangerously close to mine and I'll have to make a decision.

As for myself if something in the universe sounds better that what I currently using, if I never hear it I still think I'm using the best.
