    Any interest in the following?
    1. Oppo PM-2
    2. Schiit Magni2
    3. Schiit Loki (LOL)
    If so, I figure we can start in the East Coast or South.

    I might be interested in the PM2 so I can mod my PM2 and compare to stock but it's definitely not a priority. I also probably won't have much time to do any experimenting until the week after Thanksgiving.

    I wouldn't mind trying the PM2 out as well. @Ishcabible and I are both in the Greater Boston area.

    Not really sure why you'd need the loaner program for the Schiit. 30 day return policy is just about as good as it gets.

    Definitely only worth it for the very high priced offerings and not the budget offerings.

    Guess I forgot about shipping, which could be $10 or more one way.

    It's actually 14 days return policy. 2 weeks is more than enough time to tell if you'll like or hate the product but not enough time to tell if you could live with it for months though. For the most part.

    Looks like I just forgot Schiit's policy. Maybe next time I'll verify before I blab!

    I've got a Theta Pro Prime IIA that I'd be happy to toss into the loaner pool, but I have to make sure it still works. It might be interesting for people to compare Mike & Jason's older stuff (assuming they did the Pro Prime II) to their newer Schiit.

    It's kind of big and heavy, and the original box is not in good shape at all, so that might be a problem. I'm in Santa Barbara.

    Would love to try the PM-2. Heard it a few times at meets but it's always better to spend time with it at home..

    Audio Zenith PMx2 looks like it could be a fantastic can, at least from the measurements I saw in the thread and the positive feedback from most everyone there.

    IS the Schiit Loki worth trying out with JRiver MC 21 that is capable of DSD playback?

    Dumb idea, but could we set up a music loaner program, or would that be illegal?

    There are lots of free legal music websites to listen to music, you may not be able to download them , but you can listen for free and they are legal. Just do a google search. Or you can listen to pretty much whatever song you want on youtube through your setup.

    well, I do not know if it is legal or not to loan out CD's - but by the time you pay for shipping them, you could buy them used for about the price you would pay for shipping them back and forth to someone.
