See Rob, maybe that's what you guys should have done. Start out by selling the MK1 at like $300 or so. Then, when there was a huge demand for them, jack the price up really high and roll in the dough.

What's interesting is that many businesses follow this practice...

Hmm.. not necessarily. If I recall correctly there was a huge waiting list for the mkI. That may have worked with the mkII, however selling it at that low of a price would be very tough to make ends meet. The price would have to be drastically higher to make up for the tons of money lost for selling it for $300.

The international store has been sold out for some time. The US store now seems to have entirely removed the category, so I guess they are sold out as well.

no it is there, under windter specials.. 30 gigs and 60 gigs left, at least according to the web. , oh wait, it looks liek they have taken it down from yesterday.. wow.. no more empegs :sniff:

30s and 60s still (appropriately IMO) listed under Steals and Deals

They must be done to a meager handful. Wow. Maybe I'll have to eBay my extra player someday.

Sorry, not a chance in the world.

Good answer:)

Just to clarify, nothing changed in the metalwork design between the Mk.2 and the Mk.2A, so any difference is a manufacturing variance.

Ordered 10Gb from Carplayer.com Shipped om Friday UPS Express to UK. Meant to arrive today. Guess what? Sent to the wrong airport!

Anyone tell me how to get compensation from the UPS incompetents.

I am mad as I planned to be looking at my nice new player tonight

Actually, they almost always deliver to the same airport in the UK, so I doubt it was sent wrong, did UPS tell you that? UPS Express takes 2-3 days world wide. Your package was shipped Friday, but Saturday and Sunday are not counted as days by UPS, so Monday delivery is not likely. I would expect it to be delivered to you on Tuesday or Wednesday assuming it is the advertised 2-3 day service.

Thanks for the reply Jeremy. Well I accept I am maybe wrong not having used them before, however when I check their transit time on my package the site gives me End of day Mon 25th for delivery.
No reflection on your service m8, it is excellent, as you processed the order quickly and got it out noon on Friday.

Just getting impatient

I am sitting at my PC writing this while my new Rio eats a few mp3's

Thanks for the excellent service Jeremy, All labeled up perfectly, and no hold up in customs. I made sure I collected it today as I could not wait another day for delivery !

I assume next job is upgrade from 1.02 software, and upgrade Emplode ?

No Flamethrowers please, I will read the FAQ soon I promise !

Will hook it up to the HI FI in a few mins, then it's into the VW Golf at the weekend

Mk2a S.No 010101943

"Mmmmmmmm...Wonder it it has the Dimmer mod done"

I assume next job is upgrade from 1.02 software, and upgrade Emplode ?

Upgrade emplode before the player

Standard recommendation is to go to 1.03, do your bulk uploads there, and then if you feel adventurous upgrade to (currently) 2.0b11

"Mmmmmmmm...Wonder it it has the Dimmer mod done"

Not very likely, as the fix was just found out... Not that every player needs it, I have two MkIIa, none of which needs the dimmer fix.

I have upgraded to1.03 and this afternoon introduced my Empeg to it's new home, my VW Golf. Sitting in the top DIN slot above the Gamma radio and sounding great.

I am a happy camper - good sounds in the car at last.

Now to find out what it can do ( goes off to read manual etc... )
