    Thanks to @Keith Richardson at Darlington Labs, we can offer the MM5 or the MM6 on a loaner tour. I'm pretty excited not only to try their products, but to try and re-ignite the EU loaner tours.

    For this one, we haven't yet chosen whether it would be the MM5 or MM6 (or MM3, if that ends up being the preference). The one with the most votes will be selected. I'd say we wait about a week to collect votes and then proceed.

    The rules for this loaner are:
    1. Friends and known Contributors only (members w/ history of leaving impressions preferred)
    2. EU only (apologies to non-EU friends)
    3. 5 days each
    4. UPS/DHL only, insure for 50% of value, signature required
    5. Impressions required in relevant thread
    Please post your location if interested.

    Since no one replied i will do it. Unfortunately here, in Europe, not many still listen to vinyl (comparing t.ex North America) and that's why it's hard to get a good loaning program of a phono. I, myself, don't own anything.

    As you can see not even the US part had high interest.

    All said and done i am really thankful that you tried to reignite interest in EU loaner program, god knows we needed it.

    Alright, since there isn't too much interest in this at the moment we're going to put this on pause. When we find a few people who sign up, I will contact Darlington Labs again and see how we can work out the loaner.

    In the meanwhile, lets try getting more loaners up and running for us EU folks! :)
