Ya know what? As much as it kills me to say it but so far I am pleased as punch with the Avalon's I've picked up and gotta say -- I'll pass for now. This is coming from someone who got his 1st s1 on March 14, 2014 and have gotten >95 Ants of all flavors since then so that is not easy to say. Reason: Quality of the s9 and R4 miners.

My s9's from batch-1 through 22 so far have been great as have 2 of the r4's but my 3rd R4 lost a board after just 24hrs. Reports abound of s9 and R4 issues and truth be told, Bitmain blew it with those miners.

Is the T9 better/more reliable? Maybe, but for now Bitmain has lost their monopoly and I for one and glad for it.

I'm with ya there. I've bought mostly bitmain gear in the past, starting with their stick miners. But my last two miners, an R4 batch 6 and the Feb 28th S9 both have had bad boards out of the box. I was thinking of purchasing another miner, but skipped the latest T9 offering. I'll probably go with the newest Avalon, as soon as I see how I like Oregon Mines for a hosting service.
