Not yet. Didn't bring the measurement shack. Proly will happen later.

Just an update: I had a chance to hear some Alpha Dog Primes at CanJam and they sounded pretty good - that is normal in terms of tonality. Sort of MadDog like, but less laid back. In other words, pretty darn good in terms of FR.

I did speak with Dan at CanJam. I think he honestly and sincerely felt really bad about the screw up. He simply and frankly admitted that they screwed up, not once, but twice. He's acknowledged the fact that he had to redouble his QC efforts.

That's good to hear.

It's good to see manufacturers who are willing to admit faults and mistakes, and who work hard to try to correct these over time. I must say that I was starting to become a bit discouraged by some of Dan's responses earlier, which disappointed me, because I was one of many people who quite enjoyed the Mad Dog T50RP mods.

To know that it appears that he sincerely acknowledges these problems and that he's working to improve quality control and assurance leaves me with a more positive impression of his character, that I hope translates to his business practices as well.

Sure. Mass production is hard. If fixed tolerances can't be spec'd (because inherent variance is too high), it's inevitable turds are going to slip through. The question is if that is acceptable. I'm on the side of cutting Dan some slack for making it right, but it assumes that (more than) a few turds end up in wild because buyers didn't understand the odds or didn't notice, and didn't understand their role in screening. Caveat emptor.
