SB3 orders....man are they flooding in!

Vinnie R. · « **on:** 27 Nov 2005, 02:47 am »

All,

In the last week alone, I received close to 20 new SB3 mod orders!

Me thinks that this RWA $100 special plus the $50 SB3 discount was a little too sweet....I'm stuggling to keep up here!

I want November to be over with ASAP

I have more 1748KE dacs coming in, more Auricaps, more enclosures, batteries, chargers ...more everything!

I mod the SB3s in the order which I receive them. I'd say my back log is approx 4 weeks from when I receive the SB3 that I am modding. Slim Devices has been great about sending out SB3s (looks like they are all caught up and are sending out orders quickly) and I usually receive them in 1 weeks.

Just wanted to let you know the status, and I'll be chugging along with modding your SB3s. Thanks for all your orders and your patience while I am doing my best to finish these in a reasonable amount of time.

Regards,

Ok guys, I'm DYING over here!

I have close to 50 of these things to mod now (I am NOT joking!).

In the last two days I've been smacked with SB3 mod orders, smacked silly I say!

I really appreciate all the business and all your support, but most importantly, all your patience as I start to dig through this pile of new SB3s that continue to come in from Slim Devices. December is going to be a VERY BUSY month.

REMINDER: Tomorrow is the last day of the SB3 special. Staring Thursday (December 1st), I will not be ordering the SB3s...they will need to be ordered and shipped to me for mods. The Slim Devices discount will be over ($50), as will the RWA $100 discount on mods.

Uncle, uncle!!!!!

Regards,

Hope it's as good as everyone is saying.

Do I buy one? Do I not?

To buy, or not to buy: that is the question:
Whether 'tis nobler in the mind to suffer
The slings and arrows of outrageous fortune,
Or to take arms against a sea of troubles,
And by opposing end them? Not to buy: to stayput;
No SB3; and by stayput is to say we end
The heart-ache and the thousand natural shocks
That audiophilic ear is heir to, 'tis a consummation
Devoutly to be wish'd. To stayput, No Redwine;
No Redwine: perchance to dream: ay, there's the rub;
For in that sleep of remorse what dreams may come
When we have shuffled off this fiscal sanity,
Must give us pause: there's the respect
That makes calamity of so long life without Redwine;
For who would bear the whips and scorns of time,
But that the dread of something after staying put,
The undiscover'd country from whose bourn
No traveller returns, puzzles the will
And makes us rather bear those ills we have
Than fly to the dark side that we know not of?
Thus conscience does make cowards of us all;
And thus the native hue of resolution
Is sicklied o'er with the pale cast of thought,
And enterprises of great pith and moment
With this regard their currents turn awry,
And lose the name of action.

Woodsyi,

That was beautiful...I think I have something in my eye

All,

If you are interested in the SB3 and mod discount, I'd really appreciated it of you will place your order with me by 5pm EST today. I need to get these orders out to Slim Devices and I have a TON of work to catch up on tonight. Heck, I'd like to get some sleep tonight if I can

I've had this offer posted for over a month now....please do not wait until the very end as it will make things difficult for me. Thanks for your understanding.

I received confirmation that a 48 lbs. order of SB3s has been shipped from Slim Devices. Looks like their backlog is definitely over!

Back to the dungeon for me... I should be able to ship out two modded SB3s today! More to following tomorrow, and the next day, etc.

Sincerely,

No good deal goes unpunished.

Update: Just got my fully Vinnized SB3 in.

Somehow it's a bit bigger than expected (about 8 inches wide), which provides a larger (more preferable) display.

Now it's waiting proudly for me to learn how to use it.

When did you order yours? Curious what your turnaround time was.

Congrats, Jeff. There will be plenty of fun ahead of you.

JLM · « **Reply #13 on:** 9 Dec 2005, 06:07 pm »

I mailed my check out on November 9 (and then changed my order from basic mods on a wired version to the the full battery/AC/mods on a wireless version).

randytsuch · « **Reply #14 on:** 16 Dec 2005, 05:56 am »

My SB3 is in the mail. I ordered it on 11/26, and with the flood of orders, I did not expect to see it before Christmas.

Vinnie, you must be working some long hours.
Thanks for the present.

Randy

Hey Vinnnie,
My SB3 arrived a couple days ago. Still needs to break in, and I need to replace the el cheapo wall wart that came with it, but I was already impressed last night with the sound, and the convenience is great.

Hi Randy,

Thanks for posting your initial impressions and please keep us posted as it breaks in.

All,

The SB3 mods are coming along and I hope to have them all finished in the next couple of weeks (certainly before the move). Thanks for your patience and if you have any questions or concerns, feel free to email me to discuss.

Regards,
