Prices seem too good to be true, but you never know. I have no personal experience with this vendor or the products shown.

Those prices are definitely too good to be true. Here's the Nixie site. The six-tube clocks start at $230, ~10x the price shown on spectacular.com (?!?).Sweet! This link was recently posted by someone on another thread:

I'm not in the market for one of these clocks. But if I was, I'd buy it direct from the mfr.

This is actually a dilemma im having right now. I have the budget for the upgrade, but that budget is set for a stax(estat setup) w/c i was saving for a while. Then this apex upgrade came, and im confused what to do. Also the fact that my dealer is bugging me to make the upgarde does not help haha. Either upgrade now, stax later or the other way around..Nightwish! I have not listened to them in a while. Will have to this weekend.
Are you going to upgrade your Rossini to Apex? I have the Bartok which is getting a 2.0 software upgrade.
The 2.0 is an awesome upgrade. Do it asap once its released. New mappers and filters galore.

Yup, buy direct from the manufacturer nixie shop is the legit one. Also Bought mine from this wonderful ukrainian guy.Those prices are definitely too good to be true. Here's the Nixie site. The six-tube clocks start at $230, ~10x the price shown on spectacular.com (?!?).

Cool. You 'da man! Be interested to know what you get, and if the tubes are actually included.I ordered 1 of these a few days ago... we'll know soon enough if they're for real, or too good to be true

That's another reason I'd pay more money to buy from mfr. This company is located in Ukraine -- we all know what's happening there. There's info on main pg about them having to stop business, move, partially reopen it; also that a % of every dollar spent on them is donated to the Ukranian war effort.Yup, buy direct from the manufacturer nixie shop is the legit one.

Really, that's all I need to hear...

Order placed on Monday (5 days ago), and I paid extra for express shipping... So far, 5 days later, my order has not shipped yet!Cool. You 'da man! Be interested to know what you get, and if the tubes are actually included.
I will keep updating, but my suggestion to others: if you order from these guys - do NOT pay extra for faster shipping. Use that money for Whiskey - would make the wait more pleasant

shame about the blue leds, red/amber would have been a better choice by the manufacturers.

Oh, I don't know....I'd much rather have a blue LED than a red/amber one.
I have 3 devices in my 2 systems that are either blue LED or tiny blue lamp. As long as they're not overpowering intensity, I find blue to be soothing.

fair enough, blue always reminds me of cheap Chinese equipment and doesn't match as well aesthetically imo.Oh, I don't know....I'd much rather have a blue LED than a red/amber one.

I'm not about to argue the point w/someone whose screen name is "AnalogEuphoria" (that is amazing!).
