Loaner: Holo Audio Red Streamer

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).
----edit----
because grammar and spelling are tough

 

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.

 

Yes, Holo Red received from @Vansen

 

Off to @ChaChaRealSmooth

 

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

 

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!

 

Hi @ChaChaRealSmooth - Do you still have the loaner?

 

@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.

 

Hi!
What is the update on the loaner, please?

 

I sent my shipping info to @ChaChaRealSmooth who said he would be sending it when he had time, but haven’t heard anything since then. That was on or around the 9th. I sent him a DM a couple days ago to make sure I wasn’t dropping the ball in terms of looking out for a package. Not a big deal for me if he’s busy or what have you, I can wait, but I also get it re: keeping the loaner moving along.

 

@julie since it hasn’t yet made it’s “leg” up here to New England, might I please be able to be inserted into the rotation? Most efficient would be before or after @ilikebananafudge_ (as in the past).

I’d love to see how it compares/contrasts for my use of Qobuz versus my iPad.

Thanks

 

Considering how long this has taken, I’m available to be re-included in the loaner if that’s ok.

 

Is this loaner even still active? I assumed it died when Kitsune stopped importing Holo products (that said, would still be interesting to hear against the other streamers I have)

 

What do you mean, it's still on their website?

did Kitsune reverse their decision? Their website had a big banner on it that there were stopping import of Holo products - it went up a 4-8 wks ago, presumably due to tariffs.

I found out about it when someone posted here at SBAF about it and then I went to Kitsunes website to confirm. I'll have to try and find the post, but checking now I no longer see the banner...

post was in the Holo Red impressions thread: https://www.superbestaudiofriends.org/index.php?threads/holo-audio-red.13128/page-15#post-443423

 

The tarriffs have been all over the place and are much lower now, so maybe Kitsune has worked it out. Might have been a freak out reaction to that couple days where they were a million percent.

I thought Kitsune made the Holo products huh. Interesting.
