    I won't have time for trying the amp out, sadly. I'm a go for Sunday!

    this amp is boxed up and ready to ship out for Tuesday. couldn't stand even looking at it on my shelf, for fear it would pollute the Aficionado near by.
    @Daveheart do you want this amp next?
    please confirm.

    I'm certainly willing to accept the loaner and give another opinion on it. If @brencho , @Marvey , and @Vansen wants to make a call to just halt the loaner and recoup the funds now, I won't be offended. However, I still have a certain morbid curiosity.

    We won't be able to sell it. Perhaps this along with the S19 can be used for educational purposes? Like the movie Red Asphalt for teen drivers.

    I still want to hear an S19, but there's no way it's worth the customs and shipping charges. Can't we brainwash @bengo or @pedalhead into getting one?

    We have a karmic obligation to set it on fire, sellling it on hf will undoubtedly cause horrible things to happen like the HD660S being a turd. We can’t let that happens folks.

    Tbh we should personally deliver it to the buyers front door, put it in a paper bag, set it on fire and run away.

    Sell it as a stack on eBay. Despite our delusions, 99% of prospective buyers have never heard of SBAF. If I can't sell something on Head-Fi, there's always someone on eBay who will buy it (especially if you use their global shipping program).
