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 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.
