Yes, Scandinavia Sweden. I have been thinking about the logistic problem too, one of your crew is more than welcome. Thanks a lot for the very serious proposal!
Introducing Olympus & Olympus I/O - A new perspective on modern music playback
- Thread starter Taiko Audio
- Start date
All you folks waiting for your Olympuses should change your usernames to your queue numbers until you get it! Presto, easy communication here on WBF!
The Ford Model T was originally available in a variety of colors, but from 1914 to 1925, Henry Ford famously standardized production to only black to streamline manufacturing and reduce costs. As often read:
"Any customer can have a car painted any color that he wants, so long as it is black."
Hello Team Taiko, Thank you for taking time to respond with such indepth details. I share your concern in the manufacturing process and how you should not compromise on every single detail including the most prominant one - The finishing. Do let me know how we can opt for our prefered finishing. OTOH I am curious if power coat might have some impact on heat dissipation.

Do you have a clearer picture now on chasis finishing ? I told Volent HKG that I wanted mine in black anodised, #132
After reading all the issues regarding delivery and such, I would like to share my thoughts.
Taiko Audio is a young company. Yes, mistakes were made. Personally, I would never have accepted WhatsApp/forum/telephone orders, but referred to a pre-determined online order form. This could have prevented a lot of confusion. With order #50, everything should have been put on hold and this batch should have been produced first until further notice.
On the other hand, if you read this forum carefully, you cannot help but conclude that Taiko Audio is trying to create a top of the top, 10 star product and service with absolutely everything in their power. If you read carefully, you can also tell that, by striving for perfection, everyone at Taiko Audio is now running on empty, I suspect on the verge of burnout.
Especially now, even though it is in high demand, customers who are waiting for their order should give Taiko Audio some breathing space instead of asking even more questions and posting angry responses here. Especially now. I am sure that Taiko Audio will solve the problems with everything in their power. Give them space! This will only speed up the process!
And no, I have no affinity with Taiko.
Just a reaction from someone who has been in a similar situation.

Tempting
The coating layer is so thin it does not impact heat dissipation. You can inform your dealer but you can also let us know directly by e-mailing support@taikoaudio.com.
We just finished checking the coated chassis, zero rejects on a batch of 16 parts (6 servers and 4 I/Os) and looking really good. I'm going to take some photos asap and share them here.
Great, the guys will reach out today to make an appointment!
Not very often you read something like this. This service proposal must be VERY rare. I am truly impressed

It’s very difficult capturing the difference between coated and anodised accurately on camera.
Coated is mainly slightly more light reflective and a bit of a deeper black:

Anodised Olympus

Its difficult to capture the difference in a photograph. Its definitely a texture difference. This is the Solution 727 next to the Sahara Silver 360. When you look closely its a big difference within the surface...In person...

Yes the H360 has a different kind of coating with more “texture” , here’s a close up of black:
