Hello Wayne,

Of course I would like to base the decision on something more meaningful than "first come first serve". It will be a big day for me when I tally up all the applicants and try to mark their applications somehow lol. I suspect it won't be anytime before 6 October when I do that, because I'll be busy manning the empty virtual HQ with James before then while everyone goes on national holiday

Seems like you have a a lot of interest this time around, Joe. Nice problem to have. Don't envy you the headache of choosing and sorting... unless you have a ton of review units going out

8 pages and I'm still seeing familiar names pop up on every page :blink: When it comes to choosing those who get in on the tour it will be tough! :eek: (although being chosen for previous tours or having lots of FiiO gear are not important criteria in selection. What IS an important criterion, that's the question h34r: )

on top of my head I'd say review reputation.
there are certain NZ, USA, CAN citizens you can't possibly leave out of the tour.

Of course, with several world tours under my belt I have considerable experience in choosing candidates. I was just pulling you guys' chain about being lost and confused , but thanks for your input anyway
