Help Support QuadraphonicQuad:
They are marked as such on the back panel and the SN# will be written by hand and range from 01/10 to 10/10 these markings are behind the plexiglass finish. Additional SN# are written on each pcbs. That way i can keep track of each unit features.Wurly, are the scopes going to be engraved with wording something like “Limited Edition?” Will they be numbered? I know that is a lot to ask considering the time and labor you have involved already. But it would make them even more special as they make their way out into the world. As in “I have one of only 10 made of these”..........just to elicit envy from others. Not that I would necessarily do that of course.
I choose to write them on the back for aesthetic reasons.
Almost there!
There was a mistake in the handle order so 4 units dont have them yet and also i didn't received the power switches square buttons. (a miscalculation on my part)
Hopefully Monday everything will tested and ready to ship!
In the mean time here's the family picture of the nine (almost finished) units!

They look amazing! But it finally occurred to me that integrating it into my setup will call for a re-arrangement of my equipment and recordings - in order to access the I/O, I have to remove all the LP's to pull the cabinets forward! (My Involve SM2 is between the AVR and turntable.) Perhaps it will initially sit upon the Marantz and I'll rig up a small fan for heat dissipation.
Nice choice of gear & a clean set up. I'm a fan of (older) Infinity speakers myself. The Wurlyscope should look great on top of the Marantz.
I used to have an APT Holman pre-amp exactly like yours. A big factor in purchasing it was the mode/phase balance control, something very rare & useful. I'm wondering how often you use it and in what way with the SM v2? Or maybe the Marantz? Shifting it just a bit CCW should give an almost exact effect of the Sansui stereo synthesizer mode for great wrap around effect with the Involve unit. Tho I wouldn't recommend it anywhere but straight up for playing real quad material.
Thanks. I moved back to CT about a year ago to a house which needed several time-consuming projects (installing central AC, new flooring in 4 rooms, bathroom and laundry room remodels, new siding) so my setup was incomplete with the cabinetry pulled about 18 inches from the wall for nearly 9 months for access to the cabling. It was only partially setup for stereo until I could route speaker cables through walls for the rear channels (wall hung NHT Super Zero 2.1's).
Though this Marantz has a phono input, I use the APT almost exclusively for my LP's - some day I may hook up my Oppo and/o the Teac CD player to it as well. But honestly I never even thought about using the mode control as you suggest. Damn! Now I will have to listen to dozens and dozens of albums all over again!

Wow!
A 23 page user manual & it looks totally professional. Me thinks you should do the Surround Master manual for Involve.
Thats great 
Thank you for your interest in my design.
Unfortunately all JCQS-440 are sold.
If the demand is there i might build another batch next winter.
Just check this thread from time to time to stay informed.
Regards
Jean
Oh well.. perhaps make a batch of JCQS-440ES Signature Mk II? ;-)
If so it's gonna be mk II

I wonder who the lucky buyers were besides me
. I guess we will never know. Maybe some big shot celebrities or someone like Elon Musk? Maybe a famous musician like Sir Paul? I once sold something on Ebay to Mark from Devo. I am a big fan from way back but just kept quiet and didn’t go there. I guess that some things are better left unknown. Keeps the mystery alive.
