    I can see a BW on loan, anything higher up has the risk of having tubes broken :eek:.

    Same here, @purrin, any possibility of this from EC?

    Unfortunately the West coast staples are rarer sightings in the East, DNA, EC, Cavalli, etc.

    Maybe the BW. For tube amps, probably not. Too heavy and too expensive.

    I almost made sending it on a loaner a mandatory part of selling my BW, I should have. Maybe we could still talk @thegunner100 into doing it...

    I don't think I'll be keeping the BW around so if someone wants to buy it for loaner purposes, PM me.

    I prefer tubes with the hd650s. The BW does help take the edge off of brighter headphones and give them a bit more body though.
