The problem is that is a fine solution for those who can deal with a PCB only option. Depending on how many individuals that applies to it leaves the rest more than likely having to pay extra because the numbers required for the case is now smaller. Once again to satisfy the vocal few more...

Yes but what really bothers/worries me is that we are now talking about designs that were done/completed some years ago, including the Detox, and because of the production issues we will end up with products that quite frankly will have been superseded in design/performance just because of the...

Like many here I started of with the original MDAC2 upgrade which then morphed into the FDAC and now back to the MDAC2. I am also in for a DETOX which now seems to have dropped off the cliff never to be seen again? So now there are 3 variants of the MDAC2 to choose from. As somebody who has a...

I have not received any e-mails from you despite having paid the Detox dev fee and from the number of similar replies above there may be many more?

My understanding was that the original MDAC power supply was deemed to be OK and that only after some test/trials had been done to show that there was a significant improvement in SQ that any replacement would be recommended? Since the MDAC2 still awaits manufacture is it currently known that...

John Is the new front panel that you are referring to necessary/relevant if you do not require/have the streamer pcb fitted? Or is an updated panel that can be fitted and be fully functionally with or without the streamer pcb? Do you have a likely cost?

I think I have made my position clear on this whole subject, so you are not alone! I also do not see well over 100 contributors (assuming that would be over 50%) having agreed to it either.

I don't see a (huge) majority or anything like of supporters looking to pay for John's company's tooling. Just the usual vocal ones who took us down the FDAC route. John needs to be looking for third party investment if he is looking for tooling and production/manufacturing structuring of his...

The same old response from the same old people who just want, want, want and are happy to just keep paying whatever is demanded and expect everybody else to just go alone so that they can have what they want.

There has been absolutely no evidence to that effect been presented/provided. When it has been clearly shown/demonstrated that there is or will be a cost neutral overall outcome to the current Detox and MDAC2 projects then that argument/position may have some merit.

Or in other words, give me £100, which is the current amount being asked for, or I will simply add the equivalent amount to the cost in another way. Same effect, I am demanding £100 from you if you ever want to see whatever project(s) you have signed up for. Sorry that is simple extortion.

Why should anybody be effectively forced to pay for John's tooling costs for equipment that will remain with him for use on other projects by either seeking an up front payment or add it to cost of the existing projects. This P & P equipment is not specifically and only require/necessary for...

I feel that it is totally unreasonable that because you are happy to add further funds to provide tooling, for which we will have no real benefit for, that others who do not go along with that are then made to be the unreasonable ones who are stopping you have what you want. This was exactly the...

If I remember rightly there was such a poll to take us from the MDAC2 to the FDAC and where has that led us, in a circle. I am fed up at the few of you for whom money seems to be no object and are prepared to just keep throwing money at this project whatever the cost. No, I do not want to see...
