Will I Hear A Difference?

Early last year I was thinking maybe this will be the year I finally reward myself with a new 911. Within seconds I discover their allocations sold out for the rest of the model year. In March. I could go on and on with examples. If by now after 2 years you don’t understand the world financial systems and supply chains are messed up, if after all that you still want to heap the blame for all that on one person or another, or second-guess experienced successful businessmen, probably no point any more trying to educate. I’m looking at the ZMA and if it gets to the point I order I will click the site and wait my turn and not whine about it- and certainly not say or do anything to tarnish the rep of any of the very rare audio gurus like Steve, without whom we would not just be waiting, we would have nothing- or almost as bad, be priced out of the market.

Whining? Tarnishing? Are you serious?

I said I completely understand Steve’s backlog of orders. Is it tarnishing to expect an answer to an inquiry? I asked how much I should put down for a deposit and wanted to be added to the list. Crickets. 

I only related my experience with trying to contact Decware, and it is disappointing. Only facts, no embellishment.

You’ve forgotten that this isn’t my first rodeo and I’ve been at this at least as long as you have. 

I ordered a Decware Zen TORII MkIV last January 11th and just picked up my New upgraded Zen TORII MkV on November 20th and let me tell you it was worth the time spent waiting, this amp sounds so clear and uncluttered that I'm glad I waited for the newer upgraded amp.

Some things are just worth the wait and this new Decware amp is one of those things.

All you have to do is call between 10am and 3pm central time and talk to Sarah she will take your order and you will be on your way to tube bliss, by the way they are catching up on their orders faster now, so this would be a good time to order.

if you are near the Chicago area just PM me and we can arrange a listening session.

Have to agree with @Tablejockey, Ortofon Blue or Bronze, heck why not 2M Black Beethoven if you're going to spring for the EAT.

Cart alone will be a big jump, then you can layer in tonearm/turntable upgrade as your budget allows. 

Most assuredly. I went from a Project Debut Carbon to an Eat C Sharp with Cadenza Blue and an Eat Petit Glo phono pre. Just get a different weight---Oyaide makes an excellent carbon piped one.
