    Want to start out by giving a big thank you to @No_One411 for helping get this set up. We will have two pairs for the initial tour launch which will begin in Norcal and Socal. Once the initial tour launch has been completed we will launch a second tour which will include open signups for members of "friend" status (@sphinxvc will announce this at a later date).

    Based on the information provided the following is the current list for the initial launch and will be updated periodically with logistical status updates. Ideally depending on when we receive the loaner units they will be at the upcoming Norcal and Socal meets.

    Socal Crew (Pair 1)
    1. @purrin
    2. @Luckbad
    3. @OJneg
    4. @ultrabike
    5. @sphinxvc
    Norcal Crew (Pair 2)
    1. @velvetx
    2. @Bill-P
    3. @CEE TEE
    4. @drfindley (currently has)
    5. @Hands
    Also please note that these units are not to be taken apart for any reason. The current loaner time is 7 days. When you ship the product out please insure this package for $1,800 and provide a tracking number. Also please look over the loaner program guide in my signature.

    I'll definitely want in when this goes global! Er, continental? Americanal? I'll never spend that much on headphones, but I'd love to hear what a $2K can can (do the can can can) sound like.

    Sorry but for the initial tour there are no more spots available. However there will be a second tour which will include open signups for members of "friend" status (@sphinxvc will announce once the initial tour winds down). The initial tour will also include the HEX being at the upcoming Norcal and Socal SBAF meets.

    Let me clarify here. The Norcal and Socal crew of course will get their time in to listen however during the initial period you won't be given as much time as when the second tour goes on (so sign up when available if you want more days). Personally I only need it for a day at max and will be passing it around but this will be highlighted at the upcoming Socal and Norcal meets so if you don't get to hear it by the time the meet rolls around come on down and give it a listen.

    I think this "initial" tour is supposed to stay in said regions. @velvetx and @sphinxvc and @No_One411 can tell you if they will circulate eastward

    @takato14 and everyone else, you can sign up for the second tour. Like @velvetx said, the route for this go 'round is set.
