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

Hiernote, your post is incorrect, and I thought you would recall the earlier thread where the distributor responded to questions.

I sense there are some misunderstandings or perhaps some other reason for your posts. Maybe we should get acquainted, so feel free to call me at your earliest convenience. I'll be happy to speak with you and answer your questions and concerns, to clear up any misunderstandings and provide accurate information about Lector products.

The thread in which you refer gave some vague explanation as to the MK II to MK III revision, apparently due to the Burr Brown 63/20 bit chip no longer being available.
The MK III was to now use a 24 bit dac.
This still does not explain why Music Direct is selling the MK V(check their catalog)
I still say why now a MK V and what happen the MK IV?
Perhaps one of the earlier members may be correct that the # 4 is bad luck and actually never was produced.
Please feel free to share the explanation with all of us.

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.

Hiernote, are you on a mission? Did it ever occur to you it's a typographical error?

I beleive member Audiobuzz did a pretty accurate job describing my "mission"
I would,however,not use the word mission.
I would have used the word "truth"
I still believe that a Lector retailer,distributor or Music Direct should have caught the TYPO before the thread escalated.
With Lector(changing distribution,history of back logged product and rapid dicontinuation of product,(there was actually 3 revisions of the original 7TL) a Typo seemed a bit less realistic as a new model.
I am pleased that MK II/MK III owners need not be concerned with a MK V version in the near future.
