Hi Paul, any updates?  Dan really doesn't want to bring those other products to market. What could be better than a new SR 45 amp ;)

We will be shooting manuals for two to three new products this month alone. 

PJ's commitment to a strong, reliable implementation of the SR-45 is unwavering, and since the scope of this project is beyond any kit offerings we currently have, there is no real prior precedent for how long such a project will take to complete.

You are correct PB, but I can poke the bear once per month :). You guys are amazing and I'm thankful for what you bring to the world.  Nothing here but a dedicated fan base reinforcing a desire for the ultimate design.

Seductor has been taking up a lot of my time, but progress is being made. More later.

Other projects - mostly getting my late mother's estate through probate right now. Long story, but coming to a close finally.

There's a lot of developments going on at Bottlehead, and the SR amps are related to those developments, so they are not orphans even if it seems like it right now.

I was just contacted by the person who acquired the SR45 amps I used in my own system. He is trimming down his collection and is offering them up for sale. I don't have any other specific info, so ping me if you would like to get in touch with him and I will give you the contact info.
