I was looking at it a little while ago and it looks pretty freakin sweet anyone going to be picking one up?

cough*Manny*cough

 

Given eDesigns track record, no way in hell. They have this awful habit of making things look REAL good on paper...

 

how much is this super unit going for? im sticking with my new joint thatll be here in a couple weeks, but I was curious about that for awhile.

 

$500

10 carrots

 

its not a deck for everybody(aesthetics/ergos/ipod control or changer needs), and as i'm learning not quite ideal for 4way active, because you lose flexibility(but doable). Then theres the warranty/accessibility issue. All i can say is i'll stay tuned..

 

Did you get one already or does that mean that your still debating?

 

IF I ever got one, my money definately would Not be going to Ben for it.

 

well GD ends by feb28th...then Ben promises delivery within 2weeks

I'm in the middle of buying a house/selling mine...so i dunno...we'll see if i get the itch by the end of the month..Tough to say though...its $500 risk

 

lol, promises delivery. the only way he could make that deadline is because he did not "design" it/build it himself.

 

I see I didnt know ED was that bad... Do you still have that 8455 for sale?

 

I've got my HU/processing needs taken care of, but I'd love to play with one. If it delivers what it says at the price it's going for (pre-order group buy or even at regular price), I think it's a great deal.

I hadn't heard/read about issues with Ben/elemental. Got a link anyone?

 

They've been promising lineup additions for eons now with very little to show for it. Additionally, there have been countless issues with their equipment, to the point where there was a large 'Post Your eD Problems Here' thread, which was on icixsound.com (that thread has since been closed, lolz). Problem with that was that it's eDs forums, so of course they are going to have a fast retort to any realistic problem. Don't you love politics?

Yessir i do...

 

check your pm

 

I wouldn't buy the first run. theres gonna be bugs and i don't wanna buy one with bugs.

 

What first run? These Hu's been available for over a year, URAL has made HU's for a few years. Just never in the US market.

 

Making them for the US market may require some alterations. Especially on AM/FM tuning bands...

 

The only difference between the bandwith in comparison to the US decks is that their bandwith reaches lower into the 78.xx FM stations but as high as ours. In any case each step is 0.01 on these Hu's, so it should be a non-issue.

 

Keyword...Should.

 

Then I 'should' not have used that keyword.... the FM tuner works here, just covers a bigger range

 

If wanted to keep listening to you, I woulda stayed on the phone.

 

they are not a new company, but new to the us, and who knows what will get lost in translation lol. eD+some russian company new to the us market = mass histeria

 

Im still not going for it. IF and thats a big IF it would be after theres been enough US feedback to back it up...

Look at Alto, not like they didnt have experience and made great products, they just didnt perfect it too well for 12V systems...

 

i thought the alto mobile products had good reviews, no?

 

great products, but with noise issues...
