I wouldn’t sweat it, it seems many orders spend the majority of the build time in QC, especially as their complexity goes up.

Middle of page 8, bottom of page 8 and top of 9. June order so less then a page per month. 10 pages so a year at best and probably a year and a half.  

Hey Brad,

#5 on the list, that's great. 16 months is a long wait. So are you excited? You been very passionate about this amp.

Happy listening,

Joseph

I thought The Flywheel had arrived, but things have quieted down again. Guess it's a little early.

Recent weekly movement up the list (places). This is just my order, YMMV.

7/22: 8
7/29: 14
8/5: 17
8/12: 17
8/19: 12
8/26: 10

Tracked over 25 weeks, the total weekly average movement has held pretty steady at slightly over 10 places, but this should get better.

I’m pretty sure I know where you learned that collectivist phrase from, and it doesn’t bode well at all. It doesn’t “take a village”, it takes several individuals. Steve does the QA, Devon handles shipping, I believe the increase is in production only.

Maya Angelou, I enjoyed her early work? did you see the Color Purple?

It’s for the guy who wonders where I learned about literature and film from, the one who thinks it’s collectivist ( how do they make words up like that) to express oneself and attacks others language because they see everything through the lens of politics. The guy that posts to agitate passive aggressively like one of Pavlov’s dog’s drooling on que for their media masters that have trained them to be agitated and to control their thought process to have them trigger on words media programs into their consciousness repeatedly non stop limiting their ability to think for themselves outside of their political animal farm.

If Decware is not an example of a company, a small company where everybody’s role is of equal importance being led in symphony by its creator.  A cooperative business for a profit where there is a goal to together create the best hi-fi equipment for a  Specific market, if describing Decware to be a village triggers you to a involuntary knee-jerk reflexive action maybe you should think about why these things consume your mind.
The beautiful thing is with the English language, one can learn to express oneself in an exacting manner or one can be a reactionary obfuscating  pissant demonstrating their Inability to think freely

Please refrain from PM me fascist racist political propaganda and political content of any kind. You are not equipped to have a political discussion with me so I graciously decline to have any further intercourse with you.
if you would refrain from commenting on my posts that would be great too

Let’s keep this focused on the list (and what ultimately brings us together) so knock it off Brad and Joe.

I’m still 500 and change….:(

Skip: wohoo!

Looks like the piling on has started Brad. This is how they chased away Archie. I'm here only on purely selfish reasons. Hate to see anymore knowledgeable senior members leave the forum.

I hope your not taking the fact that someone called you a "fascist racist " to heart seems like those insults are commonly thrown around loosely these days.

Sad that my favorite thread has become a place for insulting other members with truly hateful and mean thoughts. Not to mention all the unsolicited advice to the owner of Decware on how to run his business. Just my opinion..so it really doesn't mean much.

"Can't we all just get along" Rodney King

Wow good for you Edsonic it takes a big man to recognize his faults. Believe they call that mirroring.

Not sure exactly how to act my age, partly because I've never been this damn old before, but I think we could all do better with fewer of the snarky, add nothing, commnetaries.

Last thing I want to do is lose another established, learned soul with ideas and experiences which differ from mine.
I already know what I know; I want more from those who've traveled journeys unlike mine.

That horse is already out of the barn. There are more than a few long timers who have gradually absented themselves from the forums since a particular member showed up.

I've been visiting these forums for a long time and never had trouble finding others with different ideas than mine about audio who were (and are) capable of conducting themselves at least somewhat in civilized manner.

There certainly have been dust ups here from time to time, but always about audio. The word "collectivist" (which instigated this whole kerfuffle) is not an audio term. And though the phrase / aphorism "It takes a village" has only recently been politicized, anybody taking a quick look at it would know that this phrase and others similar to it originated centuries ago, probably millennia. Long before any modern notion of politics.

In any case, attacking the direct recipient of such nonsense for his response and siding with the person directly responsible for the whole affair is completely overboard.

If some are okay with having persistent neo-McCarthyist (or any other political) intrusion into otherwise audio discussion, so be it. But don't expect others who find it annoying and inappropriate to remain silent forever and not voice objection, once out of ten occurrences or so.

And don't be surprised that some leave the forums because of it.

Manny.....

Thanks for the graphical estimate, as I think I am approximately at the same place in line as you.  Seeing it laid out that way makes the wait more bearable.

Well, Ed, I've been around longer than my profile suggests, seen many come and go.

I do not disagree on any of your points, except I was raised in a way that a horse out of the barn meant it was time to go back to work, even if it happened at supper time.

Enough metaphors.
I have been guilty of responding to such nonsense as well.
I will try harder to not feed trolling comments from anyone, no matter which of my hackles are raised.

I ask for everyone to join me in this attempt toward further civility.

If nothing else Steve, our gracious and forgiving host, asked for this from all of us long ago.

Old DD,

Same here, long before.

Thanks for explaining your understanding re horse and barn, that makes sense. I've always heard "That horse is already out of the barn" used as a shortened variant of "Shutting the barn door after the horse is out (gone)". I erred in forgetting the 'already' part, which is more explanatory (since fixed w/ edit). Anyway, something like "That ship has sailed."

So there we are - different experiences with horse metaphors!

Thank you, Sir.

Welcome to the forum.

Man my head is gonna splode...stuck in quality control "purgatory"

Send Steve D. his amp!!

Sarah,

Thanks for the info! Makes total sense.

See Decware fans. It's all about the "base". 😂🤣😂🤣.

Ziggy not only made the bases for my amps, he also made the enclosures for DNA2s I previously own. His craftsmanship is worth the wait.

If you want a graphic representation of your wait time, use a weight loss app. I assume they all work pretty much the same, I use one called My Weight (or My Wait if you prefer). Enter your starting or current number from the wait list as the starting weight and 0 for your goal weight. Every time you check the enter it as a weigh-in. You may have to ignore the decimal point in the app or drop the last number off your list number. This will track the progress and give you an estimated delivery date from any new data.

This is my first post so I am not allow to post images but it should show a line graph with my starting number at the top left corner and the goal (delivery) in the bottom left.
