Interest Check: Audio-Technica R70x loaner program

[Asr]

1/25 update: canceled
 
I'm considering putting up my Audio-Technica R70x for a short loaner program, any Head-Fier's interested? If you are, just post here in the thread, please don't send a PM.
 
This would work a bit differently from the loaner programs that have been done by MOTs, these would be the terms:
 
- By signing up to participate, you agree to pay for the cost of insured, trackable shipping to the next person.
- By signing up, you also agree to write a review here on Head-Fi. It doesn't matter where on Head-Fi, just as long as it's on the site somewhere.
- 7-10 business days maximum per person.
- 3-5 participants
- USA only
 
Additionally, I reserve the right to determine the list of participants using my own subjective criteria. The main incentive for the loaner program would be to get more reviews of the R70x on Head-Fi, so in line with that goal, I'd be looking for reputable Head-Fiers who have already posted reviews on Head-Fi.
 
Current shortlist:
- yage
- joeq70
 
This interest-check expires on 1/24 at 11:59 PM MDT (at which point I'll decide whether or not to initiate the loaner program)
 
For reference, here's a link to an old loaner I did which turned out to be extremely successful at getting some very well-written reviews: http://www.head-fi.org/t/229452/7-part-review-audio-technica-ath-ad2000

Since I'm not in the US I can't apply, so purely out of interest why would you send your personal headphones on tour? Are you in some way affiliated with Audio Technica? Or do you just have a deep seeded yearning for more R70x reviews on head-fi?

 

[yage]

I'm interested.

No, not affiliated with Audio-Technica at all (the most that I can say is that I'm a fan of their headphones), and yes the purpose is to get more R70x reviews on Head-Fi, because there aren't that many reviews of it right now. I've initiated a bunch of loaner programs of other gear in the past for the same purpose.

I'd be down for this.

Sorta surprised at the general lack of interest on this. If there aren't at least 5 people interested by the expiration time, I'll probably cancel this.

Cant believe I missed this. Definitely ready to demo if you decide to revive the program!
