    No problem at all. I know a lot of people have asked about Friend status. It's really a meritocracy. Changstar would have never gotten off the ground with so many measurements in such a short period of time if people had just kept everything to themselves. About a dozen people stepped up and shipped a ton of headphones to me. There are many ways for people to contribute. Making witty comments which please me or others, writing up comparisons (even if low-end gear focused), finding hidden gems, etc.

    I got a DS gungnir, any Friend from Bay Area would like a local meet for comparison after receiving the Gungnir Multibit?

    Cheers

    Sorry for the confusion above. My status has been updated if it's possible to be added to the East Coast reserve list. I was already a part of the Bifrost Multibit loaner program when I posted above, and as such did not realize Friend status was a requirement.

    For those on the East Coast, there's a meet on 12/5 in Nashua, NH where I'll be taking the Bifrost Multibit loaner. Not sure if any of you are able to attend or if the Gungnir Multibit will be close at that time.

    Hey guys, sorry I haven't posted an update yet. It's been a hectic weekend. Here's some quick information for now and I'll post further details Monday or Tuesday. I'm hoping to hand off to @Colgin on Tuesday. We're going to do 4-5 days per person. If you can afford to only spend 4 days, do so. I'll likely be handing off to Colgin in person, so that saves us a few days on shipping time.
    :headbang:
    The insurance amount will be $1,295. I took a few pictures that shows the condition of the Gungnir Multibit, so will link you guys to those tomorrow.
    And oh yeah, my music sounds good. I can't wait to hear the Yggdrasil and Bifrost Multibit eventually.

    @sphinxvc - I know there isn't a lot on the list for the Gungnir Multibit loaner - but as it gets towards the end of the loaner list - are you able to ship a new box if by the time the people farther down the list receive the loaner as with the Bifrost Multibit? Also, do you have a pic of the original box? I realize the Gungnir Multibit is much bigger than say the Bifrost Multibit or V2, and I have never seen how actually big the Gungnir Multibit is or the size of the box. If you could post a few pics of the size of the box and dimensions (if you feel like it) that would be awesome as well as the approximate weight i would be a great help to me (and others I am sure) on calculating shipping costs (you already explained insurance costs, which was very helpful - thank you!). I want to set the money aside for shipping s it is ready to go when it is my turn to ship to the next person in line.

    Yes indeed @The Alchemist, I'll post sanctioned measurements of the Gungnir Multibit box later.

    velvetx

    LENDING TIME PER PARTICIPANT: 4-5 days

    ITEMS IN BOX: (1) Gungnir Multibit

    CABLES YOU'LL NEED TO GET IT WORKING: Standard power cable, optical, coax or USB-B cable

    BOX DIMENSIONS: 20 3/8" x 12 1/4" x 6 1/2"

    SHIP WEIGHT: 13lbs

    INSURANCE AMOUNT: $1,295.00

    PHOTOS (as of this post): http://1drv.ms/1Ye8b98

    CONDITION: Pristine, minus two tiny scuffs on front/top plate (close ups in the photos)

    --

    I rearranged the list so the logistics make a bit more sense.

    @paranoidroid, sorry - I had to bump you down to the reserve list based on how many loaner points you had (you racked some up by being on the Bifrost Multibit list). Some others on the list had as many loaner points as you, but we go first come, first serve between those with the same number of points. I'll post current loaner points sometime this week, and hopefully that will make things clearer. There is some positive in all this, @velvetx has offered to share the Gungnir Multibit with you from his own time at the end of the tour.

    @recarcar, you got bumped up.

    Zonto, you're on reserve.

    If I've missed anything guys, let me know.

    Please read sections 7, 8, and 9 of the guide below closely so you know what's expected of you.

    So there is no Standard power cable included with the loaner? Does it use a 125 Volt 10A power cord?

    And thank you for posting the dimensions, shipping weight, photos and other info, I really appreciate that!

    No standard power cable. You'll need one of these:
