Anyone know what type of plastic these things are made of?   

Unobtanium.

Well, I don't think there will be much new info till these are in hand. We're keeping the spirit/thread alive so it doesn't get burried. OFOTD has done a great job putting all the facts in the first post of each of the threads. The rest is just a bunch of geeks chatting about a new product. What's wrong with that?

The naitives are getting real restless.  Yeah I feel like we have touched on damn near every topic on this new machine.  I tried to put as much FACT up on the 1st pages of these threads so that's what we know.  Anything we can do to keep this thread in the forefront in anticipation of next week is cool by me.

+T's allround for keeping these threads around this long!   T minus 7 or 8 or 9 days and counting. . . . . . . . . . .

Because I believe there was 2 pages in this thread about Budweiser.

Nice! Never heard that one before...I'll have to use it sometime.

I wonder how far the hype spreads beyond what you see in these forums?

It kind of makes me think that getting one now might not be a bad idea... If there aren't any wacky firmware issues or stupid bugs to work out then supply/demand might make the price inch closer to the MSRP.

I made a comment on a different forum last week after somebody said, "I'll wait for you to check it out before I get one".

I honestly think that by Thanksgiving these will either be $299 or $499... depending on what we find out in the first week of owning it.

Some dealers are apparently only getting 20% or so of their initial order in this first shipment.  I've been a realy good boy and expect to get mine Friday.

That would be model airplane plastic.

I'm thinkiong the consensus here is Unobtanium.

Should I update page 1 with this info?

I'm not in the market for a MT (yet), but in conversation with Chris at Sound Professionals today he told me that they're getting only a small percentage of their full order this week, with the rest promised by "end of month". Obviously I don't know how (if at all) this affects the other vendors, but they may not be as plentiful early on as had been hoped.

Even though I'm not in the market, I've been following these threads with great interest - it's been a LONG time (if ever) since this kind of buzz has been generated within our little hobby!

Good luck!

Seems like every retailer has a different take on when they'll receive their shipment of Microtracks.  I emailed audiomidi.com's sales dept today and this was their response:

They're just getting them this week.  We will have them here in 8 days
from today (if not sooner).  I doubt anyone will have them sooner, from
what I'm told.

Next week is seeming more likely, but still holding out some hope DJMart will receive their shipment this week.

Natalia Bomio from DJMart told me in an email that they expect to have them friday. Hopefully, friday will be the last show I tape w/ my dat deck!

[it-goes-to-eleven]

I'll bet if someone sacrifices a DAT deck as a show of good faith, it will move things along.

[slowburn]

Hey, I just bought a brand new used Fostex D-5 DAT today and it's not to be sacrificed  Of course I'll only be using it to transfer all my masters. Great home decks can be had dirt cheap now. I'm so hoping I'll never have to take a sony portable to a show again. I have 4 broken down ones sitting here and a fifth one that just barely holds together. Guess I can sacrifice one of those.

[MarkyMark]

Has anyone heard from Core-Sound regarding their ETA? Their website states the last week of this month but I don't understand why not all places would be getting them at the same time, or within a few days of each other. I don't need mine really until the middle of October but I have another project that is coming up that it would certainly help to have it sooner...

FWIW, I'll be one of the few going mics straight into the 1/4" inputs (Nak 300s). I'm curious as to how the A/D will be with the device. I haven't invested the cash into an A/D yet so who knows.
