He doesnt say actually there's a "problem".
"Issue" can mean "a thing" or "a matter", too.
He probably means they have to be finished.

Do you understand why I'm suggesting that? To bust their balls.
Nobody has the product yet. That Newegg or whatever it is seems to be a small company, and no way they have 27 units there.

PS: LMAO LMFAO ROFL LOL and all that 8-year-old kid stuff. Tone it down, man.

NewEgg is actually a very well-regarded site for people who build their own PC's, and for computer parts in general. It's no piss-ant company. But they do not deal w/ Pro Audio.

The company w/ the MPC's is a 3rd-party vendor, selling through NewEgg's portal.

Yo to take a pic? Yes l would do it. But yo you gotta remember they have computers that tells them on the sales floor if an item is in stock or not. They are not going to go to the warehouse or the basement to take a pic and then send it to you through email just to prove to a preson they have it. Every time a product is sold it is scanned to let them know the number in quantities.
You gotta understand also salesmen go by commission and wint leave that sales floor. They go by commission. In Sam Ash l seen one sales guy handle 3 customers at once and they were spending big dough. If he would of went to some basement for Fanu just to take pics he would of list those sales.
I use to stand in Sam Ash all day and watched how they operate. Rougue Music too.

Oh GLampa is you? Let me know what Pete says. Good question l was aboyt to ask the same thing.

But no one is going to take pics to prove the X is there just not going to happen. Especially if you're not buying.


You wouldn't walk out to the warehouse for a possible $1,200 to $2,200 sale? Then you wouldn't do very well in that business. I'll bet you the owner would tell you to do it, and even do it himself.

But I agree. That's why I said retail places are stupid.

Anyway, one good thing is that Goodliffe suggests that "late April" is worst-case scenario.

I can live w/ that. Many were speculating Summer or later.

Exactly! I have a bunch of Newegg receipts where l bought hard drives gugs of ram etc. They never did me wrong. Even Dilion when askung about the X was very polight. Hes not familiar with these machines. He looked in his conputer and l gave him the item number and he told me the X are in stock. Which is now updated to none in stock.

I made a copy of that see if l can get a discount on the Live.
Yo Green was it you who said the Live is going for like $950 on a discount? Let me know bro. Or do you remember who said it.?

All l know is the Virus Ti polar sound just took my track to a whole different level. Dammmmm!

Other than that, the X is going under a minor overhaul so I doubt they get units by April. The holdup is that.

Did you even read what I wrote above? (even though it is a guess)
This how rumors spread.

I don't know why you are trying to guess what he meant. Pretty clear to me that they found hardware issues that needed fixed

This is how B******T stories get circulated. Goodliffe says:

"We pushed back shipping to make sure all hardware issues are perfected. Don’t want to release a compromised product."

Sounds like basic quality control, to me. His follow-up tweet says that he doesn't expect it to delay things past April @ the latest.

So you can panic and freak out all you like, but try not to bring down everyone else w/ that pessimistic BS.

In fact, better yet; wait a year. And chime back in then. Keep in touch!
