Hi Folks:
 
Getting a good start on our Cubed Backorders:

Great to see James.

I believe you are refreshing the non-amplifier i.e. preamplifier, DAC etc. faceplates to match the new Cubed Series styling - correct?  Do you have any pics of the first runs of these?  I assume a few clients have put in orders for the Cubed amps with matching preamps or BDP/BDA.

Thanks!

Looks like silver outnumbers black and handles outnumber non-handled.  I can only guess that green lights outnumber blue lights - perhaps by 4:1?

 James , I'm dying to see pix of the 4B 3 with the hood off....

I spot a pair of non cubed faceplates in that lineup, would that be one of the 1st SST2's in for an upgrade?

Hi Al

No they are BDA 3 DAC's going through the 4 day burn-in procedure.

Interesting, how long as you offering SST2's to be built?

Hi

Until we run out of the older parts (keeping some for repairs etc.)

Hi

Not sure on that - I would assume so but will have to check.  There are no fuses in the circuit path only on the power inlet.

james

Hi James, any further update on this?

Sorry - do you mean can the fuses be replaced?

Hi James, yes I meant the fuse at the power inlet. If its the same as SST2 on the 4B. Thanks 

Also, if you can give us an rough idea when the upgrade kit pricing would likely be available?  Cheers~

Hi James can you please tell us what upgrades have you done 4b2 to the 4b3
Thanks

Yes the fuse is the same.  I would say another 30 days or so on the upgrade - there are some mechanical issues we are working on.

Sorry James I meant what changes have you done. (Guts)?

[James Tanner]

Oh sorry - completely new input stage (which we received the patent on) which requires a new backboard. New soft-start circuit and power section. New power supply transformers, some small circuit changes, and new cosmetics.

Thats great to know. I can keep the aftermarket fuse in! 

James, while typing the above line I was turning on my system and playing some music.

Then I realized my 4BSST2 right channel is a little more then half as loud as my left speaker or terribly soft I thought my speakers was doing that but when I switch the speakers cable from left to right channel the same issue goes to the left speaker. So I tried switching channels on my preamp and source as well - they are all good.

What could go wrong?? I should have started a new thread...been bending over and switching cables for the last 2 hours figuring this out wears me out... 

PLEASE HELP

Maybe the amp is getting home sick and can't wait to go back to Ontario, Canada!~

James do you think we can get a picture with the top off of the 4b3?
Thank you
