    Just got these today. Haven’t listened to the mini-c yet, but everything looks good and the Mini-S still sounds like it might deserve a golden schlong.

    Hi folks,

    just a friendly reminder that impressions are required for those who participate in the loaner tours. It doesn't have to be a full-page review, even a couple of sentences talking about its sonics will suffice.

    Also, currently, there is a B-Stock sale going on for the Mini-S if you like what you hear from the loaner pairs :)

    We say "b-stock" but it's really basically like-new

    Hi Friends,

    After some thought, we decided to split the Mini-S and C into two separate loaners.

    The updated list can be found in the first page of this thread:
    https://www.superbestaudiofriends.o...ner-eta-mini-closed-mini-s-loaner-tour.12593/

    Please let me know if there's any mistakes regarding the new list, I'll try to fix it right away

    @Vansen feel free to msg me or @E_Schaaf if anything is unclear. Also, we'll reimburse you for the second shipping since you will be shipping it to two different people after you.

    Thanks everyone

    @tommytakis Can I be added to Mini-C as well? I'm actually interested in both but not necessarily getting them at the same time. Thanks.

    Glad to hear you’re enjoying them! Unfortunately it wouldn’t be fair to others waiting on the list.

    This would be a good time to buy as we are running holiday sales until january 1st ;)

    The L/R headband badges are showing a bit of wear but otherwise everything looks intact.

    I believe it is just a clear protective film that is simply not removed.

    Thanks for the status update I forgot to post! I kept the Mini C for a bit longer than 5 days since I had it over break and was out of town for much of it.
