    I have the amp and have finished my listening. Both @Ray and @Ice-man have dropped out of the loaner so @captkirk is up.

    It might be worth letting others join such as @AllanMarcus.

    Edit.

    Feel free to delay getting it to me if needed, if others want a listen.

    Any chance of it making it's way to SoCal? I'd offer to 'host' and pair it up with a Yggdrasil A2. If anyone else wanted to hear it they'd be welcome to stop by. ...just thinking 'out loud'

    I'd be ok with that. It's ultimately up to @Vansen

    We can add @AllanMarcus if he still wants in too.

    Actually, Sorry, thank you to @Elnrik and @Vansen but I just now read Hands' and CSkippy's review and I think that's enough to satisfy my curiosity, especially as I'm no longer in the Amp market. Apologies to Vansen but please rescind my request to be on the tour.

    Thank Again, sorry about that.

    Can I apply for this loaner program? Briefly auditioned this amp last spring if I recall correctly, but not in very ideal condition. I kinda liked it. Regardless of somewhat critical reviews posted today, want to try this with my ears. Loved Cary's old 300B integrated amp (my dream amp long before), and want to find out if there exists some common dna.

    Of course I respect @Vansen and @Elnrik 's decisions regardless of acceptance.

    I live in AZ and can save @cskippy some shipping if it is not too late. If it is then I will pass I guess.

    Thanks Vansen.

    Please note I will be on travel and vacation from June 3-12. I doubt I would get it then anyways, but just saying. I'm looking forward to reading more reviews and testing it myself.
