Bill:

Be sure you don't have an email filter set somewhere that is treating the Outlaw response as spam. A lot of these new spam filters are pretty aggressive.

C'mon guys! lets get some dates posted here; so those of us in line can get an idea when we will see our shiny new preamp!

For what its worth, I received my waiting list confirmation on 4/30. Still haven't received my invitation to order. Looks like 4/26 was the latest invitation date to be invited to order.

Hope this helps those of you who are as eagerly awaiting your 990 as I am!

I'm thinking we're now waiting for the "slow boat from China" to show up with the next batch.

You are probably correct. They have sold the entire first "boat load."

Ummm, I think that's Korea..

The unit I ordered Sunday is expected today via Fedex. I got on the waitlist 8 days after the opening. Some of the email I got from Outlaw came in to my spam filter on aol (I think it was the acceptance notice). All the remaining status came in normally.

If we're possibly waiting for the next boatload, does anyone know how long the last boatload took to come in?

The first boat load was en route on April 4, and the first units from that shipment were sent to customers on May 11 or so. The second load was en route by May 8 (based on a comment in the first batch of order invitation e-mails). The unknown variable is how long each batch had been in transit on April 4 and May 8. If they had both been on the way a comparable amount of time and there were no extra delays in customs for the second batch, we could potentially see units from the second batch shipping to customers by early next week. All of those numbers are probably plus or minus some time, of course. (Plus or minus two weeks? I dunno...)

For all of those who can't wait, check out Audigon. Last time I checked there were actually two 990's up for sale.
