Well, I reached my limit today. Nearly 23 months and no amp. Xin's own "Currently Shipping" post is 8 months out of date, and $300 out of pocket.

I emailed Xin and requested that my order be canceled and to be refunded.

I fully expected to need to wait a week or more before I heard anything back, but to my surprise less than 10 minutes later I got my refund.

Good luck to those of you still waiting.

So he is still around?? Interesting. Wondering now what would happen if you reordered the amp today. How long would it take???

I'm at the 25 month spot. Thankfully, I used credit card so not out any monies.

Removed? It shouldn't have been put up in the first place. Done by a moderator as he first started moderating........presumably because another builder was/is indeed cheating customers. As time proved with another thread - this was NEVER the case with Dr. Xin.
The other dynamic that is particularly curious is adults when spurned learn to move on. IOW don't moon and moan about a lover or amp designer/builder - go elsewhere where happiness and rainbows exist. That could be with Justin, or perhaps Ray.......or others.Where is the pleasure in mooning about anniversaries? Get on with life! Dogs always live in the present - when will more humans become smart enough to do the same.
I see Isborken is back and looking for attention, again.

I for one appreciate this thread and the sticky. I remember all the hype when Xin was big news. While I didn't get one, I had strongly considered them at that time. I see this post as helping new people, or returning people, sort fact from fiction. It's very easy to do research, stumble upon old posts praising his amps, and then go trying to buy one from his site. IMO the information on this post (and the site) just help to make people more conscious decisions. My thanks to the immtbiker for starting it and for all those who keep it going. It's this close community and accountability that keeps more scamming from happening.

^^^ the depth of your denial is beyond belief

I see why you are a favorite of Xin's. for you to be so convinced of Xins 'perfectly reasonable' behavior is confusing to me.

After two email requests, and a post on fixup.net, requesting a Paypal refund, two months later, I had received no reply, and no refund. When it looked as though Dr. Xin was back, I sent another email asking to disregard the requests for a cancellation/refund. This was back in July ( refund request 1), August (refund request 2), September(disregard refund requests) 2008. I HAVE received replies from Dr. Xin to other emails I have sent to him requesting his confirmation of having received the order, and specifying which version of Reference to fill this order with. So, I think that I'm using the correct Xin email subject protocol and tips when sending him an email.

I'm one of the "summer of 2007" Reference buyers still awaiting the fulfillment of my order.
Just now, I sent to Dr. Xin, by email, a new request to cancel this order and to receive a refund of the funds paid through Paypal. I'll post the results of this new cancellation/refund request either when there are results to post, or after an appropriate length of time if I get no reply.

just the fact that there are tips and email subject protocol as an attempt to circumvent being totally and utterly ignored says it all

Everyone who's confused:
Buying Xin amps isn't a good idea unless you want to have them by the next christmas after next christmas.
Buy iBasso / RSA

[shigzeo]

wow, i was thinking of getting another Xin amp (i bought at the end of 2006 to replace my older supermini from 2005) and had to wait 4 or 5 months. I thought that wait was interminable, but 23, 25 months is in no way worth it. They are good amps, but not worth two years of waiting - no way. very glad I saw this thread.
