Thanks for your lovely message and support. Hopefully you can bring out something better than us in the near future. Whilst I didn't really like all jakeharris's post, I think he was trying to be supportive by saying your brand is better than Dany's PCB. Regardless, you make great products and I support you fully and remember when 'Stam-Bashing' was a favorite past-time in some circles and I was accused of either being you, your best friend, or a paid supporter. I'm glad to see that things, for the most part, have changed. I'm looking forward to all the free products, 'bestie'! Like THAT would ever happen!!! LOL

Dany is a great designer and his pcbs are excellent. I've built several mics with Danys pcbs and they're highly regarded by all AFAIK. I don't really understand this criticism. Just because it's DIY, doesn't mean it's bad.... that myth has been debunked time and time again. You're ending up with wonky conclusions because you don't know what I'm referring to. This board and PSU design is the MK47. It was ripped-off by Poctop/Dany and sold to a French company Micandmod. He got busted for it, there was a sob story, and that French company was crucified... Now Stam has chosen to hang his hat on this exact same PCB for his commercial product...

I can not speak for Dany here but I am well aware that he has made his own circuit and layout based on the u47, ike you said, anybody can, it doesnt take a lot of brains. I have nothing but respect and admiration for him as an engineer and as a person. If you dont have anything positive to say why say anything at all.

I do know the story, but it doesn't seem fair or appropriate to slander Stam's mic based on a 3 yr old groupdiy argument, which ultimately has no bearing on the quality or sound of the mic that Stam will be producing.

I don't think you understand what slander means... but you're correct, how someone runs their business is their business.
Sorry for the off-topic.

Their has always been a strange set of ethics as far as the exceptence of those who commercialize the excepted designs. It has always been about the political exceptence of who gets credit than who actually deserves it. Often this is simply based on who has sold the most stuff within the community. The power of the vocal nature of this community about this stuff is why most Who are going to put their name on stuff to develop their own designs no matter how similar.

I saw on the purple site, that the SA47 in the form it was originally advertised as, is no more.
Josh has said that product has been cancelled. He has another 47 he is going to use, I think it has a different capsule and different transformer to the original offer.
The price for those who pre ordered will be 1290USD with its retail price being 1590USD.
Now as thats a 500USD rise on what I pre ordered, I have opted out. I can't afford that sort of price rise.
He is going to send out a newsletter via email tomorrow advising all this.
Its a shame...
The communication of this stuff could certainly be handled better.
Cheers
Wiz
