ugh... this is the last time i put in one large order for a bunch of people. i tried to make things easier by organzing friends and people i work with in one order for chance, and now they think that either me or chance are stealing their money.... fucking a. try to do something nice and it turns into more of a headache than anything else....

Everything is still on schedual. I believe they are shipping on the next boat (ship). Because of the quick money transfer this time, we are actually ahead of schedual. The last GB money transfer alone took over a month. I will have a ship date next week and I will post. I am leaving for Chicago on the 11th for a week and I hope they give me the ship date before that. It normally takes 28 days to cross the pond. I thought I made it clear as to the length of time this whole thing takes. I am also very busy recording Bill Bonham's new CD (John's cousin) so be paitient, I'm not interested in taking anyones money. My intent is to flood the market with mics and force the hi-end companies to bring back the quality vs price that they used to have. Anyone ever tried a C12 VR = almost $5000.00 ? If so try an A/B to the ACM 6802-T. I think it was their intent to have a C-12 replacment, but I had my C-12 VR for a week and returned it. It's a crime what they charge for that mic. I am still waiting for the prototype mic pre and compressor to get here for my final OK for them to produce. I hope to post pics soon.
 
Chance I wanted to get in on the 2nd group buy...you really should have made a 2nd thread...so I don't have to keep tabs on 49 pages of out of date bull shit, and could have kept current on the schedules. Maybe round 3 I can finally get in on this.

this is all imho:
it wasn't really that hard to keep up-- it's not chance's fault that you missed the many final calls and posts about the due date. chance is doing everyone in this and the next group buy a huge favor and generous service by arranging and coordinating this, which must be a fairly massive undertaking. he doesn't owe it to any of us to do this.

Make sure your "display options" (at the bottom of the forum page) is set to "sorted by last post time" - I believe this is the default. Every time someone posts in a thread, it's bumped to the top of the list, so if you see this thread on the first page, you know there's some activity. It only takes a few seconds to open it and see what's going on. The posts are arranged by default so the most recent is at the top - you don't have to read through 49 pages. No excuse. :)

i know you're not trying to rip us off. i am so so so so beyond grateful for what you're doing for us and the gear business in general. i just needed to blow off some steam before. frustration with my associates, NOT with you. just wanted to make that clear.
 
Bring It On!!

edit: i never knew you can't type in all caps on this board...thank god, i guess...
 
I got an E-mail from our manufacturer asking about shipping, so I guess we are getting close. I have a fed Ex account and I gave them my account number. Being a NAMM member will give a 20% discount on shipping to all of you too. I am leaving tonight to mix a project in Chicago so if I get any other news/updates, I will post ASAP
 
Blast outside UK embassy in Chile

There has been a small explosion outside a building containing the British and Israeli embassies in the Chilean capital, Santiago.

It occurred several metres away from the British embassy office, which was closed at the time, and caused minor damage to the doorway.

There are no reports of casualties from the blast.

Police are investigating the explosion, reportedly caused by a cylinder containing gunpowder.

So far no-one has claimed responsibility, and police say it is too early to say who might have planted the device.

About 50,000 British tourists visit Chile every year.

The BBC's South America correspondent, Daniel Schweimler, says there is some anti-British sentiment among small extreme right-wing groups in Chile because of the 1998 arrest in London of the former military leader, Augusto Pinochet, who died last December.

The blast took place at about 2200 local time on Sunday (0215 GMT Monday).

The building also houses a Chilean tobacco company.
 
Brewers beat the Rockies 2 out of three this weekend to give them a solid 4 game lead in the National League Central.
 
Got Mics? Bored?
Well I'm leaving Chicago tomorrow and will be back in So Cal tomorrow morning (Tuesday) And I will be calling China. I will try to post the ETA news too.
 
damn....looks like I missed out on the 2nd group buy too....I hope if there is a 3rd buy that a new thread is created.....

Chance has already said he plans a 3rd group buy. I don't know if it will be a new thread or a continuation of this one, but either way it is easy enough to follow. It sounds like compressors and preamps will be added to the menu for the 3rd one.

I wanted a stereo pair of these (with the selectable polarity) but I didn't have money when the order time was ready. :(

If anybody has one or two they'll sell when they come in please put me first on your list! :D
 
If I'm not mistaken, I believe I ordered several extra of some of the mics. This is in case there are some that aren't up to snuff. On the last buy out of around 100 mics, there were 3 that had minor problems. I did this so if this happens again, I can ship another one from here and not from China. I am still waiting for a ship date. I will call China in a few hours from now.
