The Cyndustries List

This same problem has been seen with other analog modular 
manufacturers, not just Cynthia's.

It would have been interesting if Gino Robair had made a strong 
emphasis about this issue in both his EM review articles.
My personal take on the issue is: a small enterprise like theirs 
should be expected to be slow. Understandably.

What is not acceptable is consistently promising lead times that are 
not met. This very quickly leads to frustration and anger in 
customers.
I paid for my ZO fully, with the expectation of a 6-wk lead time. 
It's now been 4-plus months, and nada.

I think we should be given a realistic lead time from the start, as 
frequently this becomes part of the equation used to decide to go 
with brand X vs brand Y or even Z.

Paul Schreiber's MOTM is, in my opinion, one of the best-quality 
modulars (if not the best) in the market today, and yet his promised 
lead times were so consistently not met that I finally decided to 
give up on his brand altogether. Now, looking back, I wish I had kept 
my MOTM, but at the time I sold it out of anger and frustration.

On the other hand, Blacet, Modcan and DOtcom always meet their 
promised lead times with chronometric precision. And they're also 
excellent brands.

Bottom line? Word to the wise: if you really want a modular system, 
be willing to accept some of the idiosyncracies of the manufacturers.
Fairly warned, be thee, says I!

Nobody else is making a zeroscillator, right? If you're tired of 
waiting for this, ask Cynthia for a refund, then order a 261e from 
Don Buchla.....then that will set off a whole new set of frustrated 
threads on the fora.

Or better yet, get an Evolver. Or an Access Virus. Or...

Me? I'll just wait.

Cynthia, pleeeeeeze.....
