I noticed in the October edition of Stereophile that Wadia products had been removed from their "Recommended Components" list due to "doubts over availability" and I commented on that here. Looked like they might have been in some difficulties.... However, in this month (December)'s Stereophile Wadia write: [quote] To paraphrase Mark Twain: The rumours of our death have been greatly exaggerated. We were shocked and surprised to learn that Wadia products had been delisted from Stereophile's "Recommended Components" list in October because of "doubts over availability". For the record, all of our products are actively shupping throughout our entire international network of dealers and distributors. Furthermore, we are preparing to launch out new 900-series statement Decoding Computer System, which will be demonstrated in January at the Consumer Electronics Show. The new reference product joins the recently introduced 302 CD player, expanding our lineup of world-class products. In conclusion, we would like to thank our customers, dealers, and distributors for their past and continuing support. We look forward to seeing as many of you as possible at the forthcoming CES, where we hope you will not mistkae us for the Grateful Dead.
