Yeah I generally don't trust ETAs - people blame us even when we make it clear that it's not a guaranteed arrival time, it's an ESTIMATED arrival time.

Exactly! It's not like you want stock to be delayed. I mean it would be nice if it just magically appeared in a puff of smoke but hey, not gonna happen.

Thanks Felix.

Is there plenty coming in or do I need to be put on "the list" ?

Paid preorders are more likely to have secured stock than unpaid queries ;)

Entirely my logic for placing an order the other day for a pair MS-Pro. There are headphones which handle certain genre's better, but almost all require a good amp. I was interested in the T70 but already had a pair of A900s. So I will probably use MS-Pro for music during the day, and the closed A900s at night when I forget to sleep. Speaking of which it is 12:36am now... If I don't sleep with the MS Pro's arrive faster :O. I couldn't really justify another closed pair at the moment. All the other headphones I really wanted all required good amps. Oh dear lord I regret not accepting audio equipment when I was offered amps and sources in the past, I just had no interest really until last year.

Or whilst waiting for a preorder I get impatient and buy other stuff too.

even with the option of buying a better amp, and more expensive headphones I still ended up with the MS-Pros. Best purchase from a music point of view I ever made, Apart from sounding amazing they are just so versatile.

How does the STX compare to the DAC Magic with something like the MS-Pro?

Awesome man, you couldn't go wrong with that combo. IMO I thought the dacmagic was a nice little upgrade in what was already amazing sound from the STX, a little brighter and more detail.

What! Paying customers have priority, what kind of shonky establishment puts guaranteed sales first ?

I understand perfectly, I could just be a tyre kicker, whatever the headphone equivalent of that is. A pad stroker or maybe a knob turner ?

Well I've sent an email.

Everyone else stop talking up the MS-Pros... the less I know the better. Ignorance is bliss... :D

Somewhat still on topic, the Pimeta is getting there. Almost ready, a few resistors I need to get and then drop in the opamps and buffers and I'm all set... for case work. :crybaby:

Was it worth the upgrade from the STX with the MS-PRO? Currently I have a STX, thinking about dac or amp at some stage in the distant future.
