Metrum Amethyst EU Loaner Interest Check

Hi all,

I've been given @MrButchi permission to create this thread.

This was a bit last minute but we're considering doing a Metrum Amethyst EU tour. If this is something which would interest you please just say so below. As you know loaners are mostly for friends, but you can also be vouched for if a friend knows you. The time you will have the amethyst Dac/Amp is 5-7 days and everything will have to be shipped with tracking and ~$500 insurance, as per usual.

Update: This tour is a go! I'm hoping to be able to send to @IceUul tomorrow. We're looking at if we can include long-term contributors who aren't friends on the tour. I'm sure most of you are perfectly alright but it only takes one bad apple to spoil the party, not really my call. I'll keep you posted.



Loaner tour program:

1. @IceUul
2. @dark_energy
3. @Priidik
4. @Ali-Pacha
5. @JeffYoung
6. @bengo
7. @pedalhead
8. @Hrodulf
9. @sacredgates
10. @jayeshrc


...

11. @SKiring (...just above rock bottom)
12. @Changeling (...just prior to the end of time)
13. @sorrodje (...at some point in the distant future. 2018? What is that?)

 

Interested

Ali

 

I'd be interested, although I'm not a friend....

 

If you include me, I can compare with my new Pavane L2 (which is definitely a keeper!)

 

Yes please I'm very interested in this. Thanks for the heads up @TwoEars

 

Definitely interested.

 

Interested as well... though I'm not a friend. Can compare with Auralic Vega and Chord Mojo. Amps: Auralic Taurus Mk2, DNA Stratus, Icon Audio HP8, (Feliks Audio Elise: for sale since the Stratus arrived). Headphones HD800, HD650, DT880 pro, could have LCD-4 around depending on the timing.

 

Interested. I can be just prior to @sorrodje and ship to him in late December / Early January, if possible.

 

@CoLdAsSauLt

If you don't have a friend that can vouch for you get yourself to contributor status at least and we'll talk

 

I have to pass, too much regular cable work that needs to be done. I appreciate the message, though. Thank you.

 

Please signup two Estonian SBAF friends next to me @dark_energy and @Priidik

 

@IceUul

Are they close enough so that you don't have to send the amethyst through mail?

 

Indeed they are, @Priidik is in Tallinn and @dark_energy near Tallinn.

 

@IceUul

Good enough, I'll put them next after you.

 

Sign me up! Maybe I'll even be able to do some measurement to it.

 

Iceuul takes good care of us locals here being up to date.
Loaners appear to my doorstep sometimes without me knowing, obviously I don't mind

 

Yes please if possible! (no Friend status yet...).
Thanks for setting this up.
Can compare with Soekris Dac1541.

 

I'm interested in this, but I am going to be graduating soon/going on a short holiday/moving cities for my job consecutively so the timing (of when I fit into the loaner) might need to be worked on slightly.

Also, I'm not a friend so let me know if i need to do something more to get myself on the list!

 

I'm interested, you can write me up as well, preferably on the bottom side because I'm in the middle of a move. I live in the Netherlands myself.

I'll listen for Matt as well @Forza AudioWorks with his cable haha.

Thanks in advance.
