Two things 1) again with the knobs... https://www.superbestaudiofriends.org/index.php?threads/post-your-headphone-setup.3515/page-16#post-304801

SW51 worked well with FDX1 as well :)

I wish it was boobs, but eh at I least I got a pair of something....

2) When did your SW51+ get shipped (when did it hit Russian Post)? I am trying to triangulate if my shipment is down a customs black hole?

FDX1 is like a real hidden gem when trying IEMs on amps. It plays quite nicely with t00bs. On the Starlett it is no exception @tommytakis.

@crenca mine was shipped back on May 13th. Issue is on Russian Post trying to get an airplane to some countries like the US. It finally updated after no updates since May 16th today when package is out of Russia. On Zoom chats everyone knows that I was bitching about it, but that went down when getting Starlett.

Ok, my shipment hit Russian post April 22nd. I am going to give it more time before...doing nothing ;)...I am just seeing May shipments hit folks and I am starting to feel left out ;)

What shipping method you used @crenca?

Zampotech used his usual I believe, not that I have ever ordered from him before. It's international via Russian and USPS post. I wish now I had an SW51 on order but's its his "bachelor" amp...

I was looking for something to mess with while I am in the Starlettt que until October

I guess you used regular airmail? I had it shipped by EMS/Express Mail. Still handed by the Post Office but I'll get it quick once it lands in the US.

Good question - nothing specified. The Bachelor amp was low cost deal so I just ordered it and he shipped it at his pleasure. My tracking # has it hitting what Zampotech says is customs on the US side and just stalling - he says this is normal. No worries, I will let it bake a couple of more weeks before panicking...

That said, I actually think it is still on the Russian side waiting for plane/train/ship - tht makes more sense in the given circumstances

So @YMO where is it now? @crenca I had a similar experience when getting my T15b phono from Zamptech. After it left Russia it disappeared for over a month in US Customs, nothing showed up in tracking, just that it left Russia, then one day it popped up on tracking again in "Jamaica, New York". My Sw51 left May 6th and arrived in CA on the 27th.

Said left Russia on the 14th, first tracking update in almost a month. We'll see if the EMS shipping that I paid for speeds up a bit. Unlikely, but I got a first tracking update in a month.

Good to know. My last tracking update was April 28th, so a bit longer than either of your experiences, not that it means much I don't think at this point.

You disgust me

Took roughly a month to get to Sweden. You're in for a treat. ;)
