    Big thanks to Scott at Tavish Design for allowing us to try out their line of phono stages. This loaner program will be done in two sections. One will be for their Classic and Vintage phono stages and the other for their Adagio. Reason being they are backed up with orders for the Adagio and need some time to catch up on production. Anyway please sign up if you are willing to write a review and obviously have a turntable.

    Below is the current list for people next in line so if you could please post when you send this off to the next person that would be great (and organized). I have added direct links to the users so you can just PM them from this post to get address information. How to read this list is a person with Bold User Name currently has the item and people have already had it it will have user names.

    Our time for each member is currently 7 days and there is limited signups. When you ship the product out please insure this package for $1,200 and provide a tracking number. Also please look over the new loaner program guide in my signature.

    Can I get in on this? Would love to compare a tube phono stage to my hoard of solid states. Thanks!

    I think @OJneg and @purrin should come over one of the days and we can listen to these together if they both are interested. I am sure they would want to listen to these in their systems as well, so they can take them home as well.

    We can compare all the different phono stages and see how these stack up.

    Just noticed this phono was in the loaner program but I don't see any reviews for it here or in the rest of SBAF. Was it not worth writing about? Is it mediocre?

    As far as I know, this loaner never got off the ground?

    Makes sense. If you go to the Tavish site they can barely keep completed units in stock.
