HI All,
 
The long wait is almost over!!! We have confirmed our order of the Dharma is shipping to us mid October. We received a production model last week and are very impressed. We think it is a winner and going to make a lot of you very happy. Preorder yours now at TTVJAudio - price is $1195 and we offer free shipping.
 
We are announcing our loaner program for the Dharma we have here now. It will ship out Friday (ok so I have one person already signed up - Audio Addict and it will start with him) . Same rules as always. Email me todd@ttvjaudio.com with your Head-Fi user name, shipping address. I will be doing some research on members who sign up. I expect a review to be published on Head-Fi and if you elect to buy them it would be greatly appreciated if you bought them from me. Sign-ups begin now and I am limiting it to the next 7 who sign up for a total of 8 loaner participants. You will have the Dharma for 1 week (not 10 days or so - be considerate of the rest that have signed up and are waiting in line) You will ship it out to the next participant and email me the tracking info so I can pass it on to them. Have fun and enjoy your time with the Dharma!!!  todd@ttvjaudio.com
 
My impressions are that the Dharma is a top notch headphone and performs very well at its price point. It is seamless across the frequency spectrum with no obvious flaws. I can listen to it for hours at a time without fatigue and I find it a very pleasant, detailed sound. I could be very happy living with the Dharma as my only headphone. I have attached a Cardas Clear cable replacing the Dharmas stock cable and I like that combination a lot. So I give the Dharma a very high recommendation.

Hi Todd,

Is this also for europeans? Or only for people in the states? I am interested to test him out on my PaG (see my review in my signature about my amp) and compare it to my code-x , but i reside in the netherlands, amsterdam

Todd included a bonus!!!
-- A 5 foot Cardas clear HD800 cable

First impression with my RSA Apache, PWD MKII with Roon playing the music -- way better than my listening time in August at our Chicago meet!!!!

I have been letting Roon select the songs with the underlying basis female jazz vocalists.   If I had to describe the experience the past 3+ hours in a single word, it would be natural.  The female jazz vocals just have such a wonderful presence in all the music.    I really haven't wanted to leave.  I actually went out to the garage to get a portable chair so I could sit next to the Apache and enjoy the Cardas / Dharma pairing.  I doubt I will even try the default cable as the purpose of the audition is what the headphones are capable of not the quality of the standard cable.  I really want to thank Todd for including the Cardas cable.  
 
I also plan to try the Dharma's on my RSA Stealth paired to the Meridian 808.2i cd player.  I am interested in how it would pair with a tube headphone amplifier given their low impedance.

Great first impressions...natural female vocals are something I'm definitely looking for, making me even more excited to get my hands on them!
