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!


Panic and freak out?? I don't give a shit. Just making a point that I'm going to sit out the initial release due to this new info and based on Akais history. You all are the ones freaking out about "rumors"

Not hardware problems but improving the hardware. Its gonna be good too, hey they did the same for the Ren. X gonna have fatter Qlink knobs, screens will be brighter and have a matte finish so don't expect to look at yourself like a mirror :lol:

The Live might undergo a matte screen as well causing the holdup.

So ships coming with the merchandise is a load of baloney. :roll:

Dont_think_its that bad would imply a problem (issue) was found. But again, I don't care. I'll pick one up after price drops and initial problems get fixed

According to that mod at GS it's not the knobs being changed but the OLEDs above them, they will be changed for bigger ones.

Live already has the improved screen, the Live demo'd there was an early unit

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.

Yeah but that was Thomann in Germany quoted for $939.00. I still got it locked in preorder. Still looking for a seller who will match the price in the US. I got a couple laptop AC adapters that fit the description. Also checking Amazon, there are a few adapters now for $20 to $40 so I'm good either way.

Only thing, Germany may be the first or LAST :( to get the MPCs.
