Hi, thanks to Jacob (EdipisReks) I am being allowed to start this thread. The idea came about from how much some of us like the amps produced by Graham Slee combined with not many members having listened to his products. Hopefully this loaner program will allow some members the opportunity to try the gear and comment on how well it sounds and/or if improvements are needed. There are two large boxes on the way from Great Britain with the following gear: 1 Gram Amp 2 Communicator 1 Gram Amp 2 Special Edition 1 Gram Amp 3 Fanfare 1 Elevator EXP/PSU1 1 Reflex M/PSU1 1 Reflex C/PSU1 1 Solo SRGII/PSU1 1 Solo Ultra-Linear/PSU1 1 Novo 1 Voyager 1 Voyager (spatially enhanced) 2 Cusat50 1.5m dual mono 3 SMPSU There are a grand total of 21 items, counting PSU1's and "greenies" (switching power supplies). The three “greenies” can be loaned with equipment that has the PSU1 power supply so the user could compare the two types. I have owned a few components like the Voyager, and Novo, plus currently own the Solo SRGII with a PSU1. This last one I have loaned to various members here in the past. BTW, many of the items above are phono stages and since I do not do vinyl I can not try the equipment so hope to live vicariously through your comments. You can read about Graham’s phono stages at: http://www.phonostagepreamp.com/ As far as the headphone amps you can get more information at: http://www.headphoneamplifiersusb.com/ and you can read on his interconnect at: http://www.gspaudio.co.uk/Interconnects/cusat50interconnect.htm Hopefully enough of the members here have an interest in borrowing the items listed above with the understanding that: 1. This loan is open to “Casino Members” in the continental USA to facilitate the S&H. The same person could "borrow" more than one item. 2. The loan period is two weeks. 3. The individual would have to post comments both in HeadCase and in Graham Slee Forum (registration needed and I will add a link to said thread in Graham's forum by Friday so it will be easy to find). 4. The cost to ship the item with insurance and delivery confirmation to the next person is to be paid by the sending party. 5. A PM will be sent to the recipient and myself each time a piece of equipment is sent forward to the next user. 6. The equipment will not be opened, altered, and no internal pictures would be taken. 7. At the end of the loaner all of the items will be returned to me and all the units will be auctioned with the proceeds going to a non-profit organization. Equally divided among American Cancer Society, American Diabetes Association, and Red Cross. All of the items are brand new and if they behave as the previous gear I have owned from Graham Slee they will need a long burn in time (perhaps you do not believe in it and so be it ) ). Therefore the first “borrower” would have the unit for up to 3 weeks to allow him/her the opportunity to burn the unit for as much as possible. Hope to hear from you on your interest by posting here. A list will be prepared for each of the items showing the five borrowers. Thanks.
