    Nice, I'd love to have it in home for a few days to see if my opinion on it changes.

    Torpedo III (with cinemags)?

    Would love to hear what all this hype is about.

    Oh and GOV2.

    No LPS. I didn't order it since it's an additional $595 for what amounts to a diode bridge regulator chip and a cap bank.

    We could ask @drfindley if he would allow his T3 to go on a loaner. Maybe @zerodeefex could arrange a GOV2 loaner unit for us.

    Once it's done on Google tour, I could prob put my vi dac on loaner tour if there are interested parties.

    Its probably never reaching SEA, but id vote for the L700. Looks like that one is going to be one of the best value buys in headfi for the year.

    L700 seems to love/hate right now, with the STAX mafia camp leaning toward the latter. I'd love to hear it if it does, maybe if the tour is complete by the time @purrin heads over to the land downunder I may have to organize myself a trip to Sydney to coincide with that.

    That could work, but it's my only headphone amp at the moment. Not that I use it much...

    I'd like to have it at home to form an opinion of it... I'm very curious as to its sound signature.

    Not sure if people care about dedicated energizers vs. transformer boxes, but I can offer my 323S up for the L700 tour (or another e-stat candidate).

    Heard some audio zeneith PMx2's this weekend and thought they were top quality super neutral headphones. Not sure if these have been tried by people here, but all the crazy money people are spending on headphones $1500 almost seems like a decent value.

    I second the PMx2 as a loaner. I heard them very briefly this weekend but in far from optimal conditions and I want to try them at home.

    I was really impressed by the microzotl out of my HD650 at canjam. I would love to audition it on a loaner.
