    Figured I may as well just pick up my own pair since the loaner won't come around to the east til the end of next year :p. I need at least a month to figure out if a headphone is worth keeping anyways. Long term impressions are more valuable to me than the quick loaner/meet impressions.

    I blame @Marvey for calling the Clear the true successor to the modded HD650. It'll be the first $1000+ headphone that I've ever purchased new. I'm actually really excited to hear these.

    Looong list, but if I can be inserted in to the Bay Area group, I'll only hold them for a couple days.

    Also let me know when you are up north @Marvey

    @Marvey. See you're in Morro Bay. Coming South or going North? Wondering if you were able to hand off the Clear to @CEE TEE yet.

    Edit: Man I am envious. Loved to go to Morro Bay in my younger years.

    Dammit. Totally missed this. If 10 people mysteriously drop, I'm in Cincinnati, Ohio and could be 23.5.

    I am late on this for the loaner but if any of the San Francisco people want to get together for an afternoon and do a mini compare with my Utopia let me know. I am curious how the Clear sound compared to it.

    When everyone is finished poking and prodding these in their smoke filled hairy cat lined listening rooms, I'll just buy them for a great price. :p
