yes it is! SA- doesn't cut it. Wow... the EQ looks gorgeous! Josh, you did it again! and dammit... that was something I always wanted to do. I always wanted to marry the MEQ to the EQP1A into one box... unfortunately I kept that thought to myself for years instead of doing anything about it. Thanks Chad I am sure you have plenty more ideas that you can put to work soon Thanks for the compliments!

Manley is boutique now? - *looks over at 25yr old 1st edition Vari-Mu that has never needed service*

Yeah. My mercury m72s csv just went in for service. I've had it 2.5 years... we will see what he charges me. Channel 2 hiss. Demanded using ups (ugh) to the tune of $80 one way from Indiana. That's boutique. Apogee is the worst though in my opinion. They have never solved an issue for me and have wasted 10? hours of text chat asking all the wrong questions. Solved that issue without their help. Now I have a different issue. Loop sync errors. Intermittent pops and clicks too. Not a happy camper over here as far as apogee is concerned.
Sorry to vent. I just got jealous of Coil's steadfast Manley vari-mu.

Anyone heard anything on these? I emailed Stam but got no response. Curious as to delivery time, and whether they are still in the $799 pricing or $899 or up to normal price.

I saw something on fb that he was no longer responding to his normal emails , had been sick and was scrambling a bit as mike parts (bodies) were delayed .
So, respectfully, I think you need to plan on delays and be patient but eventually get a very good product. I like my 4k comp a lot but have been waiting on the diy mkii kit that was at least discussed sometime ago ?

And what you're referring to is a statement that said he wasn't going to respond to Facebook messages, and instructed people to email instead. This is how bad rumors start. Also, the 4K kit is just an idea at this point. He doesn't owe anyone that.

I have read far more statements from people saying email response has been tary or non-existent than prompt , no rumour there , just statement of fact and I have experience both personally.
Since we started talking about this company, what 3 years ago, logistics/communications have been the two consistent issues, not the quality of the product.
Joshua and I exchanged messages about the diy mkii kit almost two years ago and he certainly gave me the impression it was coming not just an idea, again I speak form my experience not heresy.
I think people seem to really like Stam products (I like mine) but just need to be patient about getting them, hardly a slanderous thing to say, again, just my experience reading all these posts, over the last few years.

It was a post about not responding on a particular Facebook group. I spoke to Josh only a day ago via email and it was prompt ....
Cheers

I guess I was just responding to your statement that you saw on FB that he was no longer responding to emails. That's simply not true.

Fair efuff, but I feel you are misinterpreting me as I just meant that he was changing up his business emails but I could have been more explicit , so my bad. We are not in the 1 pound have an argument Python skit are we ? , as I 'd rather share a beer

I'm not on FB, don't care about FB. Have NOT ordered the product yet, and am NOT complaining about delivery time, or lack of communication, and am not hoping for some possible upgrade in the future. I just need some answers on his existing EQP before pulling the trigger.
Was CONSIDERING ordering an EQ or two but wanted to know the answers to the following before ordering :
1. Current Price point. (Website is quite confusing as to what the price is TODAY), and 2. When the projected delivery time will be. We all know that his initial timetables are shall we say.....variable. 3. Will they "stereo match" units if I order a pair.
Without timely communication when I'm ready to hand over money, there's not much chance of a sale is there? It's been several days now. Close to a week. I sent email through their website.

Josh told me as long as the website has the lower price that is what it is. When he hits the cut-off they will take that option down. I'm not a part of Stam just passing on what Josh told me.

Oh and as far as this back and forth. Let me tell you Josh has always responded to my emails. If the dude is sick let him be sick. Nobody would be complaining if Rupert Neve got sick and didn't return their email.

Nobody would be complaining if Rupert Neve got sick and didn't return their email. I wasn't complaining that he was sick. I didn't know he was sick. I hope he feels better quick. I'd still like answers to my questions before laying down money though. I don't see how people can get mad at me about that.

drbill, try a direct email. I just had a back and forth with Joshua about my SA4000+ acting a little funny. He was quick and took care of contacting the USA repair tech for me.

How are you liking the 4000+? I like it a lot. It's been way too long since I used a real SSL to give any comparison. I like what the output transformers do to the tone and harmonic content of the comp. I used it on two recent albums, and the artist and band liked the final results.
