Theta, when they brought out their first high end pre-pro, assured customers that it would never obsolete since it used card cage technology in which parts that became obsolete could simply be replaced by new parts by swapping cards. I about bought one. They are now on their third model but still using a card cage technology.

The idea of modular components is GREAT, but so far it has not worked out well for any company of which I am aware. Some companies will take in the obsoleted pre-pro and bring it up to date for a reasonable fee such as adding HDMI ports, etc. -- that also makes sense.

This actually gives McIntosh some breathing space. Now they have another eleven and a half months to be able to make the mid-October delivery date.

Or more! They still haven't said which year. At this rate, it could be October 2011.

Actually, my prediction is that they will show up the week of November 9th this year since I will be gone on a week-long trip that week.

Gee John, you should then be thankful you're not going two weeks after that!

Probably safe going on your vacation -- parts availability is really staring to slow shipments. Dealer today told me about someone ordering a MA6600 -- which is also awaiting parts -- availability is scheduled for mid-December.

Of course, the dealer isn't happy as he was initially told it's be ready by end of October & of course he relayed this to the customer, etc.

Lately, orders for C500 units -- rarely ship both on the same day. Usually the C or T/P ship weeks apart. My C500 set was 3+ weeks apart.

MX150's -- Unfortunately, my dealer tells me as of today, there is no scheduled ship dates as it continues to await parts (from new suppliers??). (he has one on order for a customer).
