Buffalo DAC (ESS Sabre 9008)

[mikelm]

Yeah I'd really like to get one of these . . . .

but I would also like to resume my evening's plans

what's the story brian to we have to hold on here ?

 

[grimberg]

I already had two transformers, OTTO 2:1 and the TOSLINK module in the cart just waiting for the Buffalo to become available. If you decide to compile a list of those waiting in line, please add my name.

 

[mikelm]

me to if that is possible

 

[hayenc]

And I hope it is clear by now I want to be on that list.

Hi,

I'm waiting as well for a Buffalo.

I have no possibility at all to be online at the second release time, what todo ...

[MrMajestic]

And I hope it is clear by now I want to be on that list.

Me too

 

[123chris]

Same here. Want to go bed again...

 

[Hacker]

Me too!

 

[DexterMorgan]

If there is a list, please put me on it as well.

Otherwise, how about pushing the release times 24 hours forward?

Dexter

 

[TV Man]

Same here...

I'd like the Buffalo, IVY, and Power Supplies combo.

Have to get going to class.

I am on the phone with my hosting company. I think the best think to do is postpone this until I get it sorted, as I cannot predict when the page might show up.

I can;t really deal with this kind of volume on a email by email basis, so I can't do a list.

Sorry folks. GoDaddy better be ki$$ing my A$$ on this.

 

[hayenc]

I appreciate that pushing forward 24 hours may be the best solution, but I did change plans to be available this time and can't change things for 24 hours from now.

By the way, at least on IE, when I do a refresh, the site does show for about a half second and then it goes back to the sold out sign.

Agreed, thanks for the update.

Brian,

Sure I want my name added to the list if possible.
However I find it strange that only the Buffalo thread does not work with the provider. All other products offered by TP can be ordered. Everything seems to be accessible.
May be this can give Brian a clue.

I wouldn't like to be on the end of Godaddys phone right now

Anyway good luck Brian and thanks for all your efforts

 

[JonPike]

I too, watched the seconds tick out and got the surprise!!

At least I got back to this thread to find out what's happening. Sorry about the agitated email guys!!

Guess I'll get back to work...

 

[LTK]

Better luck tomorrow hopefully

Ok, I figured it out and have successfully placed and order.

The site used to be hosted on 64.202.167.2 but is now hosted on 208.109.138.119. The updates have been made to the old host, but the domain name (www.twistedpearaudio.com) is pointing at the new IP address.

Adding an entry for 64.202.167.2 to my hosts file fixed the problem.

To replicate on Windows:

- Start / Programs / Accessories / Notepad
- File / Open / C:\windows\system32\drivers\etc\hosts

Add this as a new line at the top of the file:

64.202.167.2 	www.twistedpearaudio.com

Save and close the file. Now close your browser. Re-open your browser and load www.twistedpearaudio.com and try to shop for a Buffalo. Voila!

Remember to remove the hosts file entry once you're done, or you'll find that the new site doesn't work for you in the very near future...

Cheers,
Carl

Any suggestions on whether we should just wait now, or tomorrow?
