    It wasn't done to be fun... it was done because someone was searching for me and knows that I use "dasman" as a handle throughout the internet.

    Since I've already been burned by identity theft in the past (actually, my elderly mother was scammed into thinking I was in a Mexican hospital and sent boatloads of money). All of the information the "doctor" used to convince her was gained via internet forums after figuring out my identity. Ever since then, I've removed all public location/identifying information from all my "personal" internet profiles. The hope is that no one can piece my personal interests with information I can't scrub (eg., Linkedin for work).

    I am so sorry you had to go through the ringer with identity theft. My apologies. I hope you don't have any more issues.

    Sadly no, I haven't received any communication or updates from whoever currently has this. :(

    I'm really sorry about this loaner, but it looks like it arrived at Soups place today. While it doesn't recover the lost time, I donated some additional money to SBAF to help with the trouble I've caused. I'm really struggling with life right now and had no business receiving it in the first place. While this is the only piece of gear I'm interested in for my headphone set up, I never even removed the Red from its box. I haven't even turned on any of my headphone setup or turntable on for over a month. I was really looking forward to testing this, but it didn't work out and I'm really sad I wasn't able to give this guy a listen. I'm still very interested in the Red as a product having heard it in a few setups and plan to buy one in the future when the time is right.

    Please remove me from the list, some life changes have me keeping my focus elsewhere for a while.

    @futbutts send me shipping address (or since we're not too far from each other I don't mind another handoff). Didn't really get a chance to listen to it unfortunately but it is what it is.

    I'd actually edited my post almost immediately after I'd made it to please disregard my request -- I didn't realize it didn't use wireless streaming. Thanks though!

    @ChaChaRealSmooth keep it as long as you want to evaluate. If I'm still next in line, I'm in no rush, as long as everyone else is fine with that.
