  • Headphone(s) you have
    A bit hard to list them all - so I'd point you here : http://www.head-fi.org/u/170914/brooko
    I try and keep it reasonably up to date.  Main headphones at current time are the Beyer T1, HD600, AKG K553, QC25 and HM5.  Main IEMs are DN2000J, Trinity Delta, Fidue A83, Alclair Curve and Altone200.

    Fiio X1, X3ii, X5, and X5ii.  Also an iPhone 5S.  For main listening I usually use PC > iFi Micro iDSD, then either to headphones or to an LD MKIV then headphones.  I also have a pair of JBL LSR 305's.
     
  • Links to review(s) you have posted (if any) no matter it is on Head-Fi or some others
    Full list of reviews and comparisons here : http://www.head-fi.org/t/762394/brookos-reviews-past-future
    I'm now also reviewing for Headfonia as well - so if Lieven is agreeable, I could do a review for both.
     
  • Whether you would like to help organize a local Aune products review tour or not.  
    I'd cover NZ and Australia - or if easier, just NZ alone.

Unfortunately, I've not formally reviewed Audio gear. I used to write professional video game reviews, however the site no longer exists. Takedown notice of the site is here: http://archiveteam.org/index.php?title=Atomicgamer and remnants of my reviews could be found through WebArchive searches. For example, the Beautiful Katamari review listed here -- http://www.metacritic.com/publication/atomicgamer?page=10 -- was mine
 
I'd love this chance to break into reviewing audio gear, however -- I love sharing my opinion!

  6)Whether you would like to help organize a local aune products review tour or not : I would be happy to! Not sure how big the area is for audio gear, but I'd happily help organize something.

Oh great! The last time I reviewed anything by Aune it cost me $200 as I bought the B1 amp and I still love it for driving the Audeze LCD-Xs.
 
So sign me up again....oh I hope I don't regret this decision. I'm not even sure what the X1S costs!
 
So here goes:
 
 

Hope I'm not too late as I just saw the request. Would love this opportunity :)  I agree to all terms and conditions.

I have recently concluded my FiiO X3K review for playstereo.com (italian online shop, which organized the tour). I will edit this post with the link when it's available.
EDIT: here is the review, in italian http://forum.videohifi.com/discussion/377713/tour-italiano-lettore-digitale-portatile-fiio-x3-2nd-gen?post#Form_Body
Same user name, GioF71. I will translate it soon and post it in the appropriate FiiO thread.
 
6) Whether you would like to help organize a local aune products review tour or not 
This might be very difficult for me with a 3 year old boy around and a new baby girl arriving on this dicember, so, no, I just wouldn't be able to do this.
