    I'd love to get a chance with the Caldera since it's the only ZMF I've yet to hear (well, aside from the AC... and Ori...)

    I'm in the Seattle, WA area.

    Edit: doh, just read that the tour is already full.
    Well, if any slots free up...
    Appreciate the folks coordinating all of this -- it's super cool.

    I got these on Wednesday according to UPS but because of stupid people here I didn't get them until yesterday. Hopefully it's ok if I ship them out at the end of the week or Monday.

    Hey @ChaChaRealSmooth any way I can get in on the TX tour? I'm in Austin. Now that I have a solid state amp that does well with Orthos I'd love to hear these.

    You're now in since @dubharmonic jumped ship after already hearing one.

    If enough slots open up, yes. I have to be fair to other SBAF members.

    I would like to participate in this loaner. I added myself to the original post in the most logical spot. Feel free to remove me or move me around as needed.

    Received from @miter53 today.
    These are gorgeous and are in great shape, except for a tiny scratches towards the front of the left cup.

    Probably a dumb question, but I can’t find the answer looking back through this thread nor in the impressions thread:

    What wood is the loaner?

    Sure are pretty!

    The payperwork says purple-heart Redheart. It’s beautiful!
    It has the wide head-band, so it’s definitely an LTD.
