I want to announce that all first group buy RCA's can be upgraded to the new cable for no charge. 

So, Grover, was the improvement solely in the terminations?   In other words, would there be any change to the balanced XLR pair I purchased in first round?

Thanks!

That is an awesome offer, Grover 8)!!!

I guess that means no changes were made to the XLR's (??). Also, how will one go about upgrading?

Thanks again, for such a generous offer.

Thanks Grover. Can you provide the proper method we can follow to exchange? Is there a significant improvement with the new design?

My ICs bought in the first group buy are all white tech flex and poly shrink. How do I tell if it is the latest?

Hi Guys, I think you'll like the improvements I've made to the RCA cables. The other cables have not changed. To receive the upgrade send the RCA cables you obtained though the 1st group buy to Grover Huffman, P.O. Box 4734, West Hills, CA. 91308. I will upgrade and return quickly. Please make sure your return address is legible.

Grover,

Thanks for offering to do this!

I believe that this degree of customer service can do nothing but alleviate some concerns over your (already fine) product changing so rapidly.

Well done!
Steve

Hmm.. Maybe I should delay sending in the mother-of-all group-buy orders (31 items!) until after my upgrades are done?  8)

Nahhhh... I wouldn't do that ;)

Thanks Grover! When your new patent allows you to go big time with inside cover ads in stereophool then you will be very well appreciated by your customers, and their friends, and so on... :D

Hi Grover,

     I have had a chance to test the U8s, they are exceptional sounding ICs. Nice low capacitance, around 45pf/meter. Tight focus, excellent harmonic structure, and homogeneous. The tonal balance is very close to a straightwire, and an excellent reference for use in a system. Audiophiles need a good foundation in the audio system, and the U8s help provide  that in an IC. Haven't heard the S version yet.

(Caveat: I do not own any Grover's ICs, and have no affiliation, in anyway, with him. A good IC is a good IC.) Two thumbs up.

Keep up the good work Grover.

Steve,

The latest white Grover S go well beyond the U8 version in my system.
Well worth upgrading in my judgment.

Just heard that the extreme highs and lows are a little better and the sound is clearer. Beautiful. I already love and recommend the U8s. The S must be really something. Two thumbs up.

Grover, HELP! I think I belong to the catagory of first time group buyers (???) can you check your shipping lists and tell me if I have to send them to you?

Yup, that's you shep. I have not mailed mine in yet either, it is too hard to go back to my old wires. But I gotta do it eventually. He says it makes a big difference.

Thanks Rich. You know this is a real bore...and makes me groan...it brings out the worst kind of angry itch.
I guess I'll just bite the bullet and hope this isn't going to go on and on. So where do I send them?
Thanks
