GASP!!
I finally came up for some air. Well everything is ordered and paid for and manufacturing has begun. There was quite a bit of communication problems with various subjects. I got so frustrated that I ended up speaking with them and that was worse. They would tell me something that I didn't understand and I would say "huh?" Then they would reply "so sorry Mr Chance we no understand huh"
Any way the ACM-300 was reciently purchased by a name brand as an exclusive. (I wonder who LOL) Because there was not enough time to get back to everyone, I substituted the ACM-200 FET ribbon mic. The price was almost the same and if the 200 is not desired, I will refund your cost of the 300. Someone pointed out that comparing the resale value of the 200 vs the value of a refund, you will still be ahead because you could sell the 200 for more than the refund. Your call. The pre amps will be dark bronze brushed aluminum in colour. I mentioned that "the xfrmrs are not made in China" I might be wrong. They mentioned that "they do not make the xfrmrs and out source them" and I assumed that ment that they imported them. When I cornered and asked them, they said "so sorry, confidential" This is typical with all the new "confidential agreements" with manufacturers not to reveal sources. This is no doubt a result of us revealing (in past group buys) who actually manufactures the brand name mics. I'll continue to update as news comes in.
Oh yeah about the "announcment" we're going to wait until our ship comes in to get things in place.
