    @Thad E Ginathom I hardly can name sending first 10 unitts (out of 500+) to be worthy of congratulations. And... lets wait for the reviews on sound\quality\comfort etc from first people that will receive them in February.

    You're on SBAF now man! :p

    I've got songs ready to listen, and I'll be using them to mix and master! :)

    I know that first, you have confidence in your development and work, and, second, that you sent out loaners, and got responses from people already. Still... Open market, the great unwashed... must be a bit nerve-wracking!

    First 10 are harder than the next 100. Glad you got these out the door because I can now breath a sigh of relief. (Don't run off with the money now!) Before I started taking advertisements for SBAF, I sought the advice of several trusted friends because I felt uneasy about it. Their advice was simple:

    1. Your generation is afraid of taking money for doing something that you love. Take the money.
    2. Use the advertisements to bring attention to upstarts that make good stuff. It's going to piss off other sponsors, but give the upstarts a break. You would be doing good.

    It was a funny old day. Some good bits, some really-not-good-bits. You just made sure that it finished excellent

    Oh... I wish I had an opposite idea from the start. Now it's too late and most money are spent ;( But... I can still save ~ 10.000$ on international shipping of ~ 550 Verum's. Hmmm, I'll think about it! :pirate07:

    Looks like my suspicions were right, and they are being shipped by color! It's a smart move, eliminating factors that can contribute to errors. This is one of the smoothest kickstarters I've seen of this scope! Really, this is one of those "too good to be true" kickstarters that looks impossible because the price is too low for something so premium, and it's such a small operation. Yet everything has been smooth sailing, you've posted updates a lot, you've been super transparent, and you haven't lost your way with the project like too many people do (you know, when the stretch goals include insanely lofty promises, and they essentially spend the money figuring out how to make the product in the first place). You even shipped in January like you said you would.

    Sorry for all the positivity, I'm just impressed. I will reserve final judgment for when I listen to them of course, in the name of fairness.

    If anyone has trouble with the tracking, try your tracking number on the UkrPoshta site. Worked for me :)

    I'm a late backer and was wondering if the final units are shipping with felt on magnets?

    None of production Verum 1 has felt on magnets.

    When parcel will reach your country it'll be trackable on the site of main national post operator. For example USPS for USA.

    Production change? Was another method for removing the distortion found?

    Higher tension. And if you'd like you can make that simple mod easily by yourself ;)

    I don't get how increasing diaphragm tension would remove reflection problems from the bar magnets but if it works, its all good.

    Higher tension would remove membrane resonances and they were much more significant then reflections from magnets.

    Magnet reflections likely won't cause distortion, but rather peaks in the frequency response from the reflections. The inside faces of the magnets are the worst offenderse here however, and the prototypes never had felt there anyway :)

    I will say that I'm curious about what tge frequency response might be like with higher tension. I know it's supposed to be the same, though.
