    I would love to get in on this loaner! I am in the DC-area. If possible, I would like to not be first because I am waiting for my GO2A upgrade to arrive. Thanks, Paul

    I'll get this packed along with the Shozys. Will send to Prashant first and then get both down to you next.

    I would like to try these out. Expensive iems probably aren't going to be in my future, but these could be up my alley. Located in Maine

    I would love to compare this to the Andromeda I just had the opportunity to listen to. At its price point I would be interested in the Orion if it has any of the magic of the Andromeda at a fraction of the price. I have been on a bunch of loaner lists of late so understand getting bumped if there is otherwise a lot of interest.

    Unfortunately, I will have to delay this. Did another measurement tonight before sending it out and found that the L channel has gone out of whack. I suspect it was already out of whack at the recent SoCal mini-meet. I will get in touch with ALO and have this taken care of.

    I'll be interested in getting on this loaner when it starts, wasn't overly impressed with the Orion during the brief time I listened to it but I need to have more time with them to see if my first impressions hold water, I am not a friend here, but I can offer up my Audio Technica ATH-CK10s (discontinued, dual-BA IEMs) up as collateral for a loaner program here to see if my love for them is justified or a victim of my bad ears :p

    Oh my, that's a hard offer to pass up. I'm going to put it in the Loaner Candidates thread and see if we garner any interest. I'll let @Marvey weigh in on adding you to the loaner since he does the checks on post history/people, etc.

    You're added. Of course it's alright for others to listen, so long as the borrowers on the list remain accountable. I know that's not necessary to say to you, but saying it just as a reminder to everyone.

    Any room left for one more? I'm seriously considering getting these to see if they have any of the Andromeda magic.

    @sphinxvc You can take me off the list. I ordered one to try for myself and it was listed as backordered but I just got a shipping notice. Will report back with impressions.
