Todd, are the Cardas Golden References Balanced XLR's or Unbalanced RCA's?

Todd, if Edwood's suggestion makes more sense in terms of shipping from person to person, I would have no problem changing my position in line.

Hi Todd,

Heck, no way I can pass up an offer like this. Put me on the list. I also vote for person to person shipping. Should expedite things greatly although I can see where you'd want to keep tabs on the units condition and that might be hard to do going person to person. Just let me know when my number comes up and I'll get you my address but you should have it in your records.

Thanks for doing this. Always wondered about this unit and if it would suit my tastes. The big problem is if it does......

Hi All,

The GO8 will ship out tomorrow to Tyrion. I had intended to put in RCA interconnects. Most headphone amps do not take balanced but I could include a pair of each. That will allow it to be put into your speaker rig for audition in balanced mode.

The shipping is person to person. I would expect it to arrive in good order and if it doesn't, I need to know right away. I have given some thought to regional shipping but to be honest, I cannot manage it that finely.I am incurring the first shipping charge from Montana to Florida. It will cost about $40 - $75 to ship it air - and that is one requirement I have to stick by. The shipping cost will also help to weed out those who are not serious about listening. The total cost of the CD Player and 2 pairs of Cardas Golden Reference interconnects as well as a Empowered Power cord will be well over 6K. You wanna listen, you gotta pay a little something to ship it.

This is on the honor system. Please don't abuse it.

Looking forward to receiving it. Let me know the tracking information and who it goes to next. I am going to try and organize a local mini meet to give more people an opportunity to try out the G08.

Let me know the date on that mini-meet Tyrion. I've got next week off so I could take a drive down there .

I hope it works that way so I can save a bit on shipping. You don't have an amp anyway so I guess it will have to go to someone else. I mean it's not like you have a Moth S2a3 on the way...

wow...what a great offer!
email sent and thanks Todd.

I still think it should be a requirement that participants have a feedback thread here in good standing.

But it's your choice, Todd, you're crazy, and we like you that way.
