Loaner: SW51+

Off to @supertransformingdhruv

Note: I excluded the shattered tube, so the package includes amp, stock tube (pair, equipped on the amp), rft tube (pair), ultron tube (single only).

 

SW51+ is here and sounding great! Cursory check on the tubes, looks like they made this leg intact.

 

Shipped to @jaker782 to arrive on Tuesday (as requested).

 

Received from @supertransformingdhruv on Tuesday.

 

Posted impressions here. Sorry I'm a bit late, got distracted by other stuff.

 

Please remove me from this loaner. Thanks!

 

I received this from @jaker782 today. The box is getting pretty soft from all the use. I had a quick look and didn't find an exact match, but if I can find something better, is this allowed or only use provided box?

I listened for maybe 30 minutes this evening, All seems well w/stock tubes.
There is, however, a pretty decent-sized chip on the top right corner of the faceplate

Glad you received it! I am fairly certain that chip was not there when I shipped it to you. It looks pretty obvious to me. Was the box or foam smashed at all when you got it? Disappointed to see this chip considering it is only about a 2 hour drive from me to you...

 

The box is not smashed or punctured, but it's pretty soft all around given how many times it has been opened & closed and how many trips it has already made. I don't see what would have contacted that part of the amp, but looking in the box, there's a small piece of what looks like the faceplate paint or coating.

I will try to repackage it, even if that's just putting the existing box in another box

 

I'll be shipping this Monday. To whom does it go?
Also, I'm reboxing it, the current one is really soft and floppy.
I found one that is the same except slightly taller, I'll make that up with some foam.

 

Thank you so much for re boxing it! And sorry I didn’t follow through about the damage with you. I’ll pm you now.

it goes to the next person on the list. @futbutts

 

Looks like I’m coming up soon too. FYI, I will be out of the country until the 12th of May. Please don’t ship to me any sooner than the 11th @futbutts since we’re both in CA it may only take a day.
I hope possibly adding a small delay and giving futbutts more time with it won’t be an issue @rhythmdevils ?

 

That's one, especially since you're the last person on the list. No worries.

 

If possible, could I be slotted into this list? would be curious to compare it to ECP 3F with a couple ETA headphones.

 

Thank you! Already sent my address to futsbutts since I will be distracted while traveling.

 

Sure thing, perfect for delaying the amp for @loadexfa !

 

@ergopower please ship it to @dematted next. Please reply to this so I know you've seen it. Cheers!

 

Haha yup, looks like I worried about nothing.

 

Like usual

 

Got it. @dematted, could you please PM me your address?
