Krypt EQ defects cause delay

[98outback]

I emailed Ken today to get a tracking number since the last time I talked to him said they would ship end of April. They have not shipped and he said there was a defect so now it will be another 60 days. He said they sent out an email on Monday to let the people that preordered know. I did not receive an email. Another 60 days. Really. I guess that's what I get for going cheap. Should I just cancel my order and get a WS420? I would go with the Exile but need the mic.

I say cancel and go with the WS420. In my experience with electronics you get what you pay for...

There are a lot of good products out there, but most of the marine audio that is top-of-mind on this board isn't manufactured in the States. The best stuff is made in the USA and others take this and get it reversed engineered in China. Some diguise this by stating "Designed in the USA." Uh, huh.

Others may make certain components or pieces but not everything. They find a manufacturer/supplier in China that has a product with the specs they are looking for and then make simple changes like different knobs and screenprint a cool logo on the chassis. Oh, and they jack the price up 3 to 10 times.

Is this the case with Krypt? I can't be positive, but why 60 days? Slow boat from China is my guess.

Need more? Check out some of these links and see if anything looks familiar.

98outback, Im in the same boat as you! HaHa... $299 for the WS420, dont have the cash right now to spend the extra 200. Undecided still...... Me and my buddy both ordered them so we could link the boats now we have to wait till probably the 1st of July before we even get them. I could spend a little more but 200, No.
I should have posted it last week when I found out , sorry.

Let me know what you decide......

No. If I thought so, I wouldn't have bothered typing the rest. I like being an informed consumer. I like others to be at least aware of what they may be getting into and I'm simply helping to support your comment of "In my experience with electronics you get what you pay for..." Imported Chinese stuff may not be worth the $200 upfront savings if you:

a) never receive what you ordered
b) end up having to buy a new one or different one because of a "defect"

Go Wetsounds if you need the mic otherwise Exiles new EQ looks really solid as for features. I love my WS420.

I wonder if we could get a group buy on the wet sound equalizer? Would anyone be interested in that?
