What;s up with all the Lector 7TL upgrades?


Has anyone noticed that the infamously back-ordered Lector 7TL has gone thru many changes in the last few months.
In September I heard that the MK II would be available.
In October the unit had become the MK III.I just got my new Music Direct catalog in the mail and noticed that now there is a MK V available in November.
Does any one know what happen to the MK IV?and why Lector is changing model #'s so fast?
Just curious?

The # 4 must be bad luck for the Italians too!
I believe the Lector is made in Italy or maybe Lector is out of Italy and the product is made in the Far East
The Music Direct catalog does indeed show a MK V unit.
I believe it is a typo.
It is unfortunate that this has occurred to a product that already has been known to have distribution issues due to availability.
I do not believe retailers should scorn members who have questions and can bring such info as this to the general public.
If the Distributor/retailer and not an Audiogon member was on this
issue this thread could have had some positive results.
We the audiophile/general public see,read,listen and buy.
The industry needs to proofread,build,distribute and provide proper information in courteous manner.
3 cheers for Audiogon and the educated consumer.
