Subject:Re: XK-5 warnings...!

Barry,

I'm reasonably confident that HS will sort out these issues over the course of the next few months..

I said, on another forum, I thought HS were pressured to release the new XK-5 early because the competition was starting to pose a serious threat (for example my impression is that the Mojo 61 is a huge success).. and I was criticized by one of the Hammond fan boys, who scoffed at my suggestion. but I stand by that.. I think that they're an OS update (or two) away from a reliable high quality clone.. and they pushed the products out the door 6 months too early and they're paying the price... actually their customers are paying the price.

Are you planning to take another shot at this?? IF you are, I would honestly wait 6 months.. give them time for another update or two, and let the supply/demand settle down (you might get a much better price down the road a bit).

Anyway, sorry to hear about your troubles.. I know how disappointing this can be when you're looking forward to a great new keyboard and it flames out like this.. I had the same experience with both an SK1 and a Numa.. I bought both of them very early in the product cycle and they both ended up going back and I moved on to the Mojo, and I've had great experience with it.. although to be honest I had some early life issues too but the service was excellent and it sounded so great that I worked through a couple bugs and now I've had 3 years of flawless performance from my Mojo.. and now I have a Mojo, a Mojo 61, and the Gemini..
