    Default The Return of Dorado?

    Hi all. Currently the new owner of a (used) Caiman SEG. I've been ploughing through all of the posts to check out upgrades and mods. Is Stan ever going to produce more Dorado's, or is it the end of an era?
    Cheers

    Best email me so that I know who exactly is after a Dorado. I have a few left.
    The problem I have is that when I set the price of the Dorado, which was slightly above cost, I didn't count on the £ losing so much of its value. So my manufacturing costs have gone up. But even at the low price of £60 plus postage etc I was still getting people complain that it is expensive.

    Thanks Stan. I couldn’t understand why they’d disappeared from your website, but this explains it. I’ll contact you forthwith!

    I had to chuckle about Stans Statement "People Complain Its Expensive" all I can say is your in the wrong Hobby HiFi is expensive for good quality, period
