I have recently organised to get an ALO Pan Am as well as the new Woo Audio WA7. I'll be reviewing both but the offer is open to borrow and/or review anything I've organised to receive. I hope that if you guys get anything for review, we can organise sharing it around and writing reviews as required, either collectively (eg: from meet impressions) or individually. 
 
If anyone would like to borrow/review either of the above amps, let me know. So far, I'll be sending the WA7 to Sasaki-san (Head-Fi Sasaki-san before anyone gets confused).

Putting my hand up for the WA7 please!

Before I forget, other than the Siemens that came as extras, I bought Mullards and the Voshkods for the PanAm, but am happy to share them around. The WA7 isn't really a tube rolling amp -- there isn't much of a variety available for it unlike for the PanAm.

Jack offered the EH Gold Pin tubes at a discount but while searching eBay I found a pair for $60 + $4 shipping so I nabbed those. So if anyone decides they love the amp so much they want to buy it you can buy those tubes from me.

Q: Wait, so is Jack expecting someone to buy the WA7 after the demo or he's cool if no one buys & it gets shipped back to US??

Cos that was one of the issues we had with the LL that the expectation was someone was gonna buy & Alex didn't have to worry about shipping it back to the States.

 

[Currawong]

I'm not sure he expects it, but I'm sure he hopes someone will buy it. Not for sharing, but he isn't really making money on these.
 
I can understand the issue about the LL as it requires a custom 100V transformer for Japan. The WA7 doesn't.  I'll bet you'll like it though, especially with the better tubes.

Wow, it has been almost a year. Here are things I still have available for borrowing if people are interested:
 
Audeze LCD-X and XC. I was going to buy one or the other pair after I finish a video review, but if anyone wants to borrow/have a mini-meet and try them, let me know and I'll ask about it.
 
JH Audio Roxannes (universal). They are heading from Arkapol to Shigzeo next.
 
Maybe we should have a mini-meet the day after the February show with all this? It wouldn't be too much trouble to haul the planars if we have a good enough amp for them.

I missed this. I have Sean's Theorem 720 ATM.
