    I'd like to hear it, hopefully my 3F is up to the task! I've never heard a Hifiman headphone in all my years in this hobby, so I'm quite curious.

    I would love to hear it (especially since I’ll shortly have my new Yggdrasil). Planars are becoming proven to be “my style”, so these would be good to try out. I *think* with their impedance and sensitivity Kara should be able to drive them.

    @ChaChaRealSmooth - was just curious if this loaner was still expected to happen?

    Apologies all, I thought these had been sent out but turns out I still have them.

    @Phantaminum, please PM me your shipping details.

    Hi - is there any chance I could be added to the loaner if possible? Would love to experience a more higher end hifiman. I'm in NJ.

    Hi @ChaChaRealSmooth - in case this ever does get off the ground, please remove me from the loaner tour list. I'm liquidating my headphone system to fund a 2.1 speaker system, so I won't have any need to try them. Thanks!

    @ChaChaRealSmooth If you could also remove me from this loaner tour. I have a few reviews I need to write up and another headphone wouldn't be smart on my end. Thanks!

    I'd love to hear this, though I guess I can't leave a review due to MOT status. I'm sure Andrew at Bloom wouldn't mind if I borrowed it, we've talked a lot in the past.
