So Kees, any impressions yet?

So Kees, any impressions yet?

It has not arrived yet.....

Hang tight man, mine came in what seemed like a very short time given it came from Serbia and all even with the customs mofos messing with it for a few days.

Customs in Holland can hold your package, without any reason, for the whole two freaking weeks...hold on my friend:cool:

In my expiriance all post from U.S. I get lately been hold for like around 8 business days plus actually shipping, which takes like 4-5 days in general. But if they hold it for more than 14 business days, you have to call 09000570 ( TNT customer service ) and ask them to start an investigation, well, kind of. If you have the tracking or customs number, you can also call the number above and ask about the status of your package.

Good luck KEES

I checked my email correspondence with Sasa and Boris regarding my Trafomatic Head One. The Head One took seven business days to go from Serbia to New York then three days from New York to Southern Cal. The communication was excellent all the way. I would check with your customs people ounds like they may be the bottleneck.

Good luck,

Greg

The US distributor is selling one for $870 here: AudiogoN ForSale: Trafomatic Audio experience head one

Last one they're going to sell at $870 before the price goes up to $1250! Someone should jump on it!

One thing to say, FUCK THOSE DISTRIBUTORS!

US distributor received my Trafomatic on Monday. Ordered Apr 11. Not too bad, considering the 7-8 weeks I waited for a Yamamoto. However, I need to stop ordering amps with long lead times.

However, I need to stop ordering amps with long lead times.

Why?

It takes 2 months to get an unusual piece of gear that you want, ans that's just how it is. People wait a year for some luxury cars, people reserve tables months in advance at good restaurants, people do lots of things that just take time.

You could get a Honda Accord, A seat at a nice diner, or whatever else right now if all you want is whatever you can get right now. There is nothing really wrong with those they are just not exactly what you want... so you gotta wait.

I for one hate waiting for head-fi to come back online, but its worth the wait so people will have somewhere to complain about a rare thing not being instantly available.

Bwaaaaaaaaahahahahahahaha.

Very much looking forward to comparisons to Cayin HA-1A sound signtature.

Also how much did it cost Superpredator? Are the line-outs passive or active?

Why?

Because. The longer I wait for something to come, the less likely I am to write about it. And I like to write about stuff. It happened with the Yamamoto, and it could happen with the Trafo. By the time I've had a chance to thoroughly listen to it, I will have spent many delirious hours hauling boulders, knee-deep in worm shit, obsessing over tomatoes, inundated with vegetables, fruit, and chicken from my CSAs, and returned from two weeks in SF. In other words, my mind and life may be somewhere else. I will barely be indoors until October.

If I didn't know that, would I have ordered amps with lead times in the first place? No. I've been babying 300 seedlings I started in March that I'm only just planting now. I don't need your tips on patience.

I'm looking forward to the comparisons myself.

$1250 + $24 shipping. I specifically requested all latest revisions when I ordered, since there seem to be several iterations. I passed over the unit Eng Vista had in stock, as it lacked the ground lift. Not sure about the line-outs.

This amp is one of two I'm aware of that have sub output. The other being the Decware Zen CSP-2.

I probably won't use the line or sub outs except to play around, as I mostly wanted it for its main function. Anyway, it's here. I just set it up, so I don't have much to report. It's certainly no dud, that's for sure.

I would be interested in your listening impressions using the various gain settings.

Very interesting design. So the sub out is to be used with the preamp function?

Impressions please. That sub output would be EXTREMELY handy for my buttkicker.
