October 11, 200817 yr I am getting ready to come home in about a month and have to start mailing my gear home. I figure rather than have it sit around, it might was well get some use. I have already offered up the Buffalo and currently have: SWT61->Augsburger->Deepak. The Buffalo will be set up for SPDIF use only. I was hoping the guys at TP would have had the MUX ready by now but no such luck. The Buffalo is in a beat up Par-Metal case so it isn't much of a looker but should give an idea of the sound. The other item for loan is the HE 1.2B. This obviously would require a pro-bias amp or transformer set up with a Stax pro-bias jack. I say each person could try the items for a week or less and then send them to the next person on the list. I will pay shipping to the first person and that person will then pay shipping to the next. If your interested shoot me a PM. Update # 2 Okay I think the Buffalo list is done. Maybe once it gets rolling I might allow others but for now it will be SWT61->Augsburger->Deepak->jinp6301->Postjack->Pars Okay it looks like I have the list for the 1.2Bs as well now. Pabbi/Luvdunhill->Tyrion->Deepak->VPI->Faust3D->Catscratch I will most likely be shipping out the both the Buffalo and 1.2B on Tuesday. Edited October 12, 200817 yr by deepak
October 11, 200817 yr naamanf, I'm not in need of anything, but just want to say this is a pretty wonderful thing to do, plus it's nice to know you'll be home for the holidays. Happy packing!
October 11, 200817 yr Sweet! I can't wait to hear the Buffalo, and I'll be a very good boy and pass it down the list after a few long weekend listening days. This is a very cool thing to do Naamanf!
October 11, 200817 yr Author I should probably add that this is only open for people in the US. Not that I mind them going to of the country I just think they would spend to much time in customs going back and forth.
October 11, 200817 yr Naaman I'd love to get on the HE 1.2b loaner as well. I'm not in a hurry to replace my DAC so I don't mind waiting a while for the Buffalo. You can put postjack in front of me.
October 11, 200817 yr I would like the HE 1.2b for myself and luvdunhill to try at the Houston meet with my BH and his KGSS, well, if he can get it reassembled... SWT61 will be there as well. That is on Oct 25th, if that can work out... maybe logistically to luvdunhill since he has my BH currently.
October 11, 200817 yr Author Okay so far I have: Buffalo: SWT61->Augsburger->Deepak->jinp6301->Postjack HE 1.2B Pabbi/Luvdunhill->Tyrion->Deepak->VPI SWT61 will also be bringing the Buffalo to the Houston meet.
October 11, 200817 yr I'd like to have a listen to the Buffalo as well! Glad to see you are finally getting out of there.
October 11, 200817 yr Author Okay I think the Buffalo list is done. Maybe once it gets rolling I might allow others but for now it will be SWT61->Augsburger->Deepak->jinp6301->Postjack->Pars
October 11, 200817 yr naamanf- What a cool idea. I look forward to hearing the He 1.2B again if it is tyrion's hands for the Tampa meet. Cheers and be safe!
October 11, 200817 yr I'd be interested in hearing the Buffalo if you aren't full up. I live in California area code 94043
October 11, 200817 yr I would love to go on the 1.2B loaner list, if possible. System will be Opus 21 --> SRM-717 or SRD-7 Pro/Dared VP-20, and comparisons against O2 Mk1 will be made. Let me know.
October 11, 200817 yr I'm in no condition to wear a can over my head, but just curious by spdif is it coax or optical.
October 12, 200817 yr naamanf, I'm not in need of anything, but just want to say this is a pretty wonderful thing to do, plus it's nice to know you'll be home for the holidays. Happy packing! I am ashamed for not stating what Boomana has just done; thank you Naaman, you are the man! Be safe so that we can have you stateside and attending meets. Of course without the sidearm. I can't wait to demo the Buffalo. Yippeeee!
October 12, 200817 yr in the spirit of naamanf's generosity, I'm going to start an SVS sub loaner program.
October 12, 200817 yr in the spirit of naamanf's generosity, I'm going to start an SVS sub loaner program. Damn, I wish could take part in that, but there's no way I'm risking someone else's sub with two kittens around.
October 12, 200817 yr Author Okay it looks like I have the list for the 1.2Bs as well now. Pabbi/Luvdunhill->Tyrion->Deepak->VPI->Faust3D->Catscratch I will most likely be shipping out the both the Buffalo and 1.2B on Tuesday.
October 12, 200817 yr Sweet! Thanks for putting me on the list, and thanks for doing this! It's unbelievably generous. Also, these cans could very well be very important in the high-end market if they really are good, and it will be very helpful to the community to have a solid base of impressions right at release time.
