vcwatkins · December 2016

Excellent, thanks @BlueBirdMusic !
Group Buy remains open through 1-3-2017 and we are hoping to reach 25. Here's where we stand:

(22) Committed
(4) Fence-sitters

If fence dwellers are closer to committing now that 25 is within reach, please let me know. Anyone else considering needs to jump in now. Great chance to get closer to the best possible sound from SDA's. You want proof? Here's your proof.

I hope the good folks at Polk Audio are paying attention.

Great work on getting such a big buy together. If I remember correctly, their pricing is a bit odd in that the savings you get per unit by moving from one price point to the next cheaper one more than pays for the next incremental unit in order to get the quantity required to jump to that price point. So in other words, if you get to 24 committed units, there's no point in waiting to get someone to commit to the 25th, because it's cheaper to buy 25 than to buy 24. I haven't done the math in this case, I don't even remember where the price list is. But I do remember that it was working out that way when I did the group buys. It may be the case now as well.

@nspindel
Scroll up to see the price list on this page.

vmaxer · December 2016

Well this has been held open too long for me to resist, count me in please.

Send me payment info please.

kmeek · December 2016

How do I get on the list to get one?

Also is it my understanding that someone is making cases (just add 1000VA here) as a kit?
Thanks

kmeek · December 2016

Sorry! I just saw the previous post about Toolfan66 creating a thread for cases after the 1st of the year.

Count me in on the transformer list though.

250GTLusso · December 2016

Well, I'll let Craig issue an updated list, but by my count (adding kmeek, vmaxer) that makes 24!

#25..... Jump in the waters fine.. :-)

GlennDog · December 2016

I say hold the timeline open til next Tuesday, as posted. With the holidays and this much enthusiasm, it could go to 30 units! Lead time is over 2 months, BE PATIENT

Members do not check in 3 times a day, like b4 .... if someone sees a post saying GBuy Open til the Jan 3, 2017. They think you'll honor that timeline! Honor It !

vcwatkins · December 2016

Open through 1-3-2017. Not limited to 25.

honestaquarian · December 2016

Actually come to think of it Craig (@vcwatkins) or Steve (@250GTLusso) can either of you check to see if there is a further discount if we did happen to make it to 30 units?

nspindel · December 2016

They quote the lead time as 12 weeks, but in really it's been more like 8 when we've ordered in the past.

I'll be sending payment info in the next day or two, but we need to hit 25 first. I don't want to have to collect from 20+ people more than once. After we hit the 25 mark, it'll be easy to add any others who wish to join and submit payment.

I thought I should re-post the pricing in this thread.

We are ONLY ONE AWAY from the next price drop

vmaxer · January 2017

We need one more buyer!!

heiney9 · January 2017

Come on fence sitters, get off that fence!

villock · January 2017

I have a Melody Astro 50 tube integrated. Will I benefit from one of these and have no problems with my amp?

machone · January 2017

The right and left channels will be totally isolated so no problem.
Yes, you will get an improved sound stage. Not just wider but deeper and more detail within the sound stage.

nspindel · January 2017

The consensus has been pretty overwhelming that the DreadnOught will improve overall performance even with common ground amplifiers. So if your SDAs are capable of using the original AI-1, it's a recommended upgrade regardless of what you're powering with. You won't hurt an amp with the isolation transformer.

villock · January 2017

Ok Count me in as #25! Thanks for the responses
