    OK, so I added @Ray to the above list. Think it makes sense to send this to him first, and then the guys in TX. I'd love to hear the HD600 version when it's available too.

    If the HD600 is close to completion, I could also hold the JAR HD650 and then Hands could send the HD600 my way too, and from there they could travel in tandem.

    Not my call, just let me know.

    I was planning to ship the 600 to Hands today. But this 600 I don't want to travel much far, I need this pair for my reference on making more of the 600s. So probably the 650 should go ahead.

    In any case shipping inside US is MUCH easier for me than what it used to be before, so I don't think we need to worry about 600s being distributed later! I'll have no difficulty shipping the 600s to where they need to go.

    @famish99 Please PM me your shipping address as you're up and I can send out this week. Updated the loaner list for this in light of Ray's passing, may he rest in peace.

    If I can get in on this, I'd like to. I have stock HD6xx that I've been using a lot, and would to compare.

    Received. I think it technically came in yesterday, but I only opened it today (confused it for a normal Amazon package).

    Defer to @Hands and the rest of the crew, but makes sense to me! Glad it got to @famish99 safely.

    Fine with me. No restrictions on loaner length. Can take our time and rearrange as it makes sense.

    FYI I have the modded HD600 on hand but haven’t yet been able to test it much myself. May be delayed due to arm surgery. Basically right arm unusable for now.

    Got them.
    Mixed emotions, as I just found out how much difference ear pads can make.

    So these go to @purr1n ?
