I think it's very nice of Head Direct to offer this give-away, BUT I'm constantly dismayed by the 'USA and Canada only' small print which seems to accompany all of these giveaways.
Is it the cost of postage? Is it that we don't deserve it? It's this attitude that puts me off dealing with certain sellers in the future. I wouldn't mind if Head-Direct were an American company - obviously then I'd expect them to only ship to those who live in the ConUS. However, we are talking about a company in the orient with customers worldwide. I've ordered from Head Direct before, and now I'm not sure I will again.

I think thats a fair offer, and I thank you for replying to my post. I'm sorry if the tone was a bit harsh.
Mind you, someone outside the USA / Canada would have to win it first.
Thanks

I would love to own a desktop amp like this one.
I would write a review for sure, which would pretty much be a comparison against all my other gear. After that I would definitely be upgrading my source/DAC right away to make justice to this beautiful desktop amp!

man I think this would end up costing me a lot after upgrading everything else. But maybe a few tax returns could handle that.
