Since Outlaw can't update those of us that have reservations for the 990 as to where we are in the que, I though we can help each other out. I did not put my reservation in until may 24th, I expect some wait time until I get my order invitation...but I'm anxious to know how long of a wait I'm facing. So anyone that received their order invitation already PLEASE post your reservation time/date and time/date of your order invitation. This will help those of us still waiting a great deal.
Thanks in Advance

I want this preamp now! this would help ease the wait

I got mine, which my wait list time was May 19th at 9:30pm. That was almost a week ago, so I am sure they are farther than that. But I have not heard from anyone after that time, so I don't know what there are up to..

Good Luck!

My waiting list confirmation email came on May 16th, and I still have not received a notification to purchase. It appears that their waiting list is not organized by time.

Whoa, they're only on those who got on the wait list back in April. I don't think they're even close to May yet.

Is that your wait list confirmation? I believe that Trikos' 5/19 message was his instructions to place the order - his wait list confirmation was 4/19, two days after the reservation list opened.

Opps my bad, wrong month sorry

It was two days after opening..

a one month wait is a bit long...why didnt they make many more before taking orders, can anyone enlighten me on this ?

All companies have to estimate orders and stage there delivery. It would be unwise for a company like Outlaw to risk building huge amounts of product not knowing what amount of orders they will get. It's a bit like forcasting the weather..

I would think that Outlaw has stage manufacturing and delivery in an organized fashion. It will ensure that when you do get your product, that you will be comformable knowing that they will be around to service it because they did it the prudent way..

JMHO..

That's one month farther back in line, but we don't know what that equates to as far as a wait. The list is heavily weighted toward the first day or two, and we're already at least 48 hours into the list, so progress down the line should be faster. There is going to be a lull at some point when the first production run is sold out, but the second production run was already on the water three or four weeks ago and a third production run was slated to start assembly this month. Here's a quote from the May 8 e-mail that provided me with my ordering instructions:

Keep in mind that the first production run was built, packed up, and loaded on a freighter before the 990 was even announced, so they had no idea of what sort of interest might exist. This meant that the very first folks on the list went from finding out that the product existed around April 4 to getting on the waiting list on April 17 (two weeks) to placing orders on May 8 (two more weeks) to having units on their doorsteps around May 11 or May 12. That's remarkably quick. In comparison, the 950 waiting list was opened in mid-December 2001 and the first handful of units shipped out to customers in early April 2002 - and the pre-order list for the Emotiva UL that you may have seen some discussion of in another thread here has been open since early this year (months before the 990 list opened), and the current estimates there are for shipments leaving the factory in June and arriving in customers' hands no sooner than August. I think Outlaw's moving the 990 pretty dang fast.
