The newsletter (from August) has been restored: http://myemail.constantcontact.com/Model...aid=8GuQdoKV-b0No changes in the specs / photos. I guess the speculation about why the software tweaks are taking so long to get right can resume..

Now all we need is our semi-annual update and we can speculate even more ferociously.

We've just concluded an extensive round of testing on the latest samples and Scott is going over to China on Jan 9 to spend a week with the build team there to address several software bugs that are standing in our way. He'll be back before Chinese New Year and then we'll have a better idea of where things stand at that time.
Peter Peter/Scott, Scott's been back from China about a month now. Can we get some information on where we stand? Are these issues pushing the release date back a month, a quarter or two, or ...?

It's closing on 2 months. You'd think if they had anything positive to report we'd have heard *something* by now. Run silent, run deep is probably not the best way to handle this. Best,

Peter, just an update please, regadless of what it is. I know the Marantz is a fine piece of gear, for about the same price point......I feel as though I've financially invested in you all and an update would be good please sir!

I don't think that you will get an update until they have an approximate availability date, which I do not believe that they have at this point.

I just posted this on the Alternate Pre thread - should have posted it here, I suppose:
I traded PM's with Peter last week. They have made significant progress lately (probably having to do with the China trip), but he does not want to post an expected production date here until VERY sure it would be realistic, as Outlaw has been called "liar" when previous estimated dates were missed, and they are very sensitive to that. Sorry, he gave no details. I did tell him the saloon is full of very restless cowpokes.

I don't recall anyone "accusing" them of lying. There were some questions about competence and realism, but I don't think anyone said anything about intentional deception. If they would prefer to say nothing, that's their prerogative. However, I'm of the opinion that it's better to keep those lines of communication open and show some steady progress rather than an "all or nothing" kinda thing...especially when they're already quite far behind the 8 ball. Best,

I wonder if they'll do anything during the AXPONA show, they're not on the exhibitor list and frankly neither are too many other commpanies that are similar to their target...

Seriously, some sort of update would be nice. I'm very close to jumping ship. If we at least had an idea, I would consider waiting. Thanks for the LFM EX and the 7700 Outlaw.
