    If there is enough Canadian interest, we can probably work something out to ease the cost of shipping across the border.

    Sounds silly - I'm interested if:
    1. Can accept comply or other smaller / compressible tips to fit ear canals.
    2. The nozzle is small + long enough - would anyone else on the tour have calipers to check the nozzle (outer) diameter and length (from tip to base). If it's CA Andromeda, Solaris, or a similar larger diameter tip, it won't fit in my ears. If the tip is relatively short like the gaudio nair I tried recently, it won't actually make enough insertion into my ear canals and all bass will leak out.

    Otherwise, I'll have to pass, but once again appreciate SBAF making "the good stuff" available for loaners.

    Nozzle is 5.5mm outer diameter and approximately 8mm long.

    Ugh - right on the 50/50 may or may not work line. I think I'll pass for now unless the impressions really compel me (and loaner isn't maxed out / full).

    Thanks for measuring.

    I'll join the (W) Canada list. Maybe soon the border will open and we'll be able to use a mailbox on the US side...

    Doesn’t look like there is an easy, cheap and safe way to include Canada at this time. If Fir allows us to keep the unit longer/indefinitely, then we can re-approach this once the border reopens.

    Looks like we have 4 USA tour members so far:
    @YMO FL
    @Cellist88 NJ
    @purr1n TX
    @rhythmdevils CA

    I’m going to go ahead and ship out to YMO in the next few days to get this started.

    Edit: added 4th member
