That’s what he wrote ADG and ADF as they share the same chassis.

I was told in May that my ADG was all put together and just waiting shipping clearance. Then, in June, that it didn't pass the final QC. In August, it was apparently missing a transformer. And now I'm being told that it doesn't have a chassis. It seems to be the Benjamin Button of compressors. I was hopeful with the last email update from Stam, but at this point- the only picture I want to see is the one with the tracking number on it. Oof |

Let’s hope, they just start shipping in a few weeks and that this backlog can also get sorted out !

I have received correspondence from Stam, but it has been quiet since they missed the last deadline. I don't get it... but I enjoy my sa4000. I don't even know how long it's been... 2 years? |

It's been a year and eight months now since I ordered. I'm guessing we'll hit the two year mark before I finally get them. |

I've been happily using my two Audioscape 76As for 4 months and counting!! I wish Stam and everyone who ordered the best. |

Hello Guys
It is no secret that what happened in Chile had a huge blow on our operation, we have been working two days a week which limits our production capabilities drastically and completely buried our intentions to deliver according the new website calendar. Over 20.000 companies have closed, workers have been injured and DHL and Banks operating very slowly. Luckily we don't depend on the Chilean market, we have understanding clients (sometimes way more understanding than we deserve) Considering that we already had a massive delay on certain pieces due to engineering, logistics or poor planing on my side then it's just another thing that adds to it and does not look bad for us but we have made huge progress.
We had some engineering issues and parts failing on the ADG-ADF after usage on some of our batch 1 clients which meant we have to dig deep to re-engineer some aspects of this highly complex machine which have now been resolved and we can resume manufacturing. Making 100 dollars per unit and spending 200 dollars for repairing each certainly put mt in a very difficult position but this has not debugged and has not happen again (some transistors burning upon switching revisions and some bad batches of transistors as well)
The ADG-ADF will resume shipments no earlier than the 5th of January. Chassis are under way, transformers and PCB's are here, it's up to us now
The SA4000MK2 finally started shipping in Ocotber, we are clearing several hundred of them before Christmas and the reviews are amazing, it completly smashes the MK1 and any other bus compressor as well as the SA-800 Sony replica (75 before Christmas) and we have almost completed all Pultec clones. We have also shipped 40 StamChilds which was a huge task
For January we being sending out ADG-ADF's, SA23A+, 33609, SA47'ssome StamChild 660 and 100 SA67's wil be made
In February V72, Helios, completing all SA4000 and the SA4000EQ and SA9000
Finally for March we have the SA-550 going out and 1073EQMK2 and some surprises in stock
We have been hiring more staff to get things out faster and promise to keep everybody up to date
Josh

At this point I don't think Stam Audio will ever change. It's not easy to change large scale operations with so many exogenous factors We are certainly trying and I have to be honest, big progress has been made despite having to push this deadlines back again |

8,000 Stam clients would disagree. We work our asses off and have consistently declined profit to have a name. You should not be so offensive towards my workers and my work. |

Mine has exhibited a high noise floor and the threshold seems pretty low (kicks in quickly). I sent it to Jeff to take a look at and he said that seems to be how these units are in general. Is that just how these things are? |

Nobody can change the past, but personally, given the unbelievable situation in Chile, I am amazed at your team’s resiliency and stick to it ness.
I also understand people’s frustrations, hopefully things really come together for everyone in 2020.

Is that just how these things are? Some transistors used to get burned when switching from revisions, it only happened on a few of them (bad batch of Q's) Your unit operates normally. The A rev is quite noisy, part's of his character Email me at stamaudio@gmail.com please, I want to check if we can try something to lower it further, no guarantees. |

stam What's this about a 1073EQMK2? What's the difference between that and the MK1? I have been working on something truly special here but I can't reveal it just yet and I certainly don't know if it will work Let's just say it's a major added feature not available on the 1073 market today |
