In the Onlinstore of Thomann you can order the Xite-1 and it's available in 2 or 5 days. Look here: http://www.thomann.de/gb/soniccore_xite_1.htm
could this be a mistake?

I ordered a piece of hardware from them in the first days of april, which was marked as "availavle in 2-5 days" and I'm still waiting

Yeah....Sweetwater here in the States sdvertised Gigastudio 4 last October on their site too. Everybody at Tascam told me no way, not until Spring.

Good products seem to be treated in similar fashion.

...and yet there must be some reason for changing the status information. can't believe it was done by accident...

Perhaps they changed it because it's only 3 days from the end of May?

too speculative...

i guess thomann is not sitting around updating there shedules....

maybe its a simple autoupdate....

Yep, Thomann are great, as are Music Store (altough I've only dealt personally with the branch in Koln). One great thing about Music Store is that you purchase a single order & they send you regular catalogues/magazines for 2/3 years free of charge. That actually led to sharc & I purchasing more gear from them.

I think the informations for this product are strange, cause Thomann wrote: "thomann.de sales rank: 37317
sales rank in DSP Audio Systems: 39
sales unit: 1 piece(s) "
So they must saled one piece - or not

not.
yet.

If there's this much talk when XITE hasn't been released yet, think of the frenzy there'll be when it IS released. I guess that's why SC called it XITE...they knew about us Scopeians here on PZ....

can't stop wetting my pants for XITE-1

no. the item itself has a quantity of one piece. if you buy (for example) studio monitors, they are sold as a pair or single. a pair will be listed as "2 piece(s)".

what makes me think is the fact that it is ranked 39 (right now 43 btw) within a category containing 66 items. so there must be at least some preorders...

I'm going through sets of strides faster than i can wash 'em

Actually, i jest. I'll get one of these one day, when finance permits, but I'm like a pig in shit with one scope pro board and noah ex already

its based on EUS - Estimated Units Sold....

I guess the rank is also based on clicks/views.

code a tiny script that loads the page frequently via cron and verify whether the counter goes up or not. if not (that's what I expect ), you're wrong.

I buyed most of my gear from them. It's the first time I've an issue regarding speed, but it seems that this specific unit is hard to get since I called several providers and they all say the same "can't guarantee delivery delays"

depends, if you only count the clicks with different ip, you can click it 1000 times and it won`t change.

that would mean companies with NAT gateways or even proxies would not be able to raise counter even if 1000 different people loaded that page...
maybe a cookie-based approach would fit better...
