Making Retio better for everyone

Dear Backers,

"One of the greatest things about developing a product for a Kickstarter community is the community's influence and feedback in the early stages. We look forward to having you as a partner in this venture, and to your part in making Retio better for everyone"

We mentioned this in our "Why Kickstarter" section and couldn't emphasize it enough. We are so grateful for all the great feedback and suggestions you have given us in the past 2 weeks. Now we have some exciting news to share:

1. Brass Leg ✓

We love this suggestion from our backers. And now we have officially made it happen. It looks gorgeous! This is a short video for you to enjoy:

It will become an optional add-on (with $10 material&labor fee). You will be able to select it in the backer survey after the campaign ends.

Our small gifts for appreciation:

We know some of you have already shared this project with family and friends and we are so grateful for that! If your family or friends back us before the campaign ends, please let us know and we'd be happy to cover the brass leg fee for you (if you select it).

2. DAB+  ✓

Adding the DAB feature has been asked a lot from our EU backers. We really appreciate it that you backed us even though we don't have a DAB feature yet. After a thorough research, we've decided to move forward and make Retio compatible with both FM and DAB, while making FM/AM still an available option for the non-DAB regions. Of course, there will be extra costs in terms of development and inventory management, but there won't be any extra charge for this option. Our mission is to help all the people enjoy music and radio, no matter where you are.

3. Party mode and Wood Types

When we just launched the campaign, we didn't offer the bundle tier but received quite some requests. Therefore we added it, but to us it actually makes more sense after adding the stereo party mode for Retio. We are working hard on this and will definitely keep you guys posted.

Our backers also requested more options for wood, which is another great suggestion. We have made several more cases using different kinds of woods, just for preview. We would probably be able to add one more option aside from what we are currently using (walnut). If you have any preference for this additional option, please feel free to drop a comment here. 

Thanks for all your trust and support. It's a huge honor and pleasure to make Retio a classic product that deserves your love.

With love,

Retio team

We made it! Retio will be on the way.

Life is a journey of remembering. And this is an important moment in our memory. We achieved our funding goal in less than 3 hours, and we feel so grateful for your support!

Yesterday we've already started preparing for the production. Hopefully we will deliver Retio to your doorsteps as soon as we can. It's not only a product, it is a carrier of spirits, a tribute to the precious moments in the past, and to the future. 

There are many occasions to celebrate in life. And this is one of the most important ones for us. The reflection of fireworks on Nixie tubes must be splendid. And you will be able to see it in this summer, and of course, with music and memory.

With love,

Retio team.
