    Eitr and Vibra are doable. I can send out Schiit Loki.

    Is this thread still a thing?

    I'd love to 2nd the Auteur...I believe @E_Schaaf just mentioned it in the Hifiman 6SE thread too...

    I’ll be offering my Auteur for a limited member loaner.

    I’m not sure when or for how long, but it’ll happen.

    Yes, but it died. No more Loki.

    Maybe kinda niche but would lead to interesting comparisons - LFF Enigma or Paradox Slant?

    Dunno how busy Luis wants to be if the loaners are a smash hit though...

    Auteur still comes first.

    A big thank you O Captain my Captain! You're a gentleman & could be a scholar, I have no idea.

    But thank you just the same.

    I'd willingly offer up my Slants as well, but alas, a cocktail-laden evening left me with a blown channel when I fouled up the start-up protocol with the Vidar. :(

    It's back with @LFF with hopes of repair.

    I’m going to advise against putting your slants on tour. Things rarely get lost, but we’ve killed a lot of loaners. All that shipping can be hard on a device. I’d hate to see something happens to something that cannot easily be replaced.

    Yeah, at least the Auteurs have a Pelican Case. That gives them a fighting shot....

    hello,

    it seems like a million years ago, but at some point i suggested Pelican cases for loaners. mayhaps we could revisit this idea for future?

    i'm thinking they could make great shipping containers.

    (MrsForBin really enjoyed Loki.)

    (n.b. @ Vansen, you'd need to store the selection of the above when they aren't out on tour..)

    If any friends want to hear my EE Legend X's, I'll put them up for a small tour. 5 maybe 10 friends. Personally, I love them, but they are very bass heavy (like everything else I own for most part). I'd also put up my EE Zeus as well, which maybe be more to the liking of others here. I will be shipping the Legends off to @shotgunshane in next couple of weeks, so if any friends want a listen, please let me know, and @Vansen. The Zeus can go for a longer tour as I don't use them near as much.

    Guys, I'm going to post office by Friday to ship these off to @shotgunshane. Not sure if any friends want a listen, haven't heard from anyone else. @Vansen not sure if you have either, or if we need a separate thread. Just updating you guys.

    If anyone is interested in the EE Zeus, I will ship them off as well as part of same tour. I'm keeping this tour small guys, sorry. Just the first 5 friends, maybe a couple of more. No more than 7 as these are my daily drivers.
