[size=x-large]This only applies to COLLEGE STUDENTS who are CONUS. [/size]

*This amp is in great condition, no scratches and a couple of very slight edge nicks 9/10.*


[size=small]1 - College-Fi member will win a Microshar LOD in Black. [/size]
*This has seen a fair bit of use, but works perfectly and still looks fine. 6/10*


[size=medium]Why am I giving this away?[/size]

Well, many of you know our lovely member Skylab. I was in bind after selling all of my portable equipment and was looking to buy a cheap Cmoy for recreational use. Skylab GAVE me the amp and sold me the LOD at a very reasonable price. I have now made some money and wanted to upgrade my system. I made myself an LOD and recently bought a HeadSix (after hearing it over at Skylab's place - Chicago Meet).

In the spirit of that kindness, I am also giving it to another broke college-fi member. The LOD will go to another individual ( not as a kit since the winner may not need an LOD).

[size=small][size=medium]RULES:

-Must Be a CURRENT College Student
-Must Live CONUS
-Must have 50+ posts at time of Entry
-Must pay for shipping of the item ($5 each)
[/size][/size]


[size=medium][size=large]ENTRY: [/size]

1. Specify if you want the LOD and/or the AMP
2. State your School
3. State your Degree/Concentration
4. State your year of Completion
5. Give your reason for wanting the item (makes for good reading) [/size]

Contest ENDS Saturday, May 10th at NOON CST.
Winners announced Late Saturday/Sunday!


[size=large]THE WINNERS WILL BE CHOSEN RANDOMLY![/size]

[size=x-large]GOOD LUCK![/size]


UPDATE: I accidentally tripped over the charger and broke off one of the plugs (the charger is really cheap). As a substitute, I just put in a brand new 9V battery.
* I wouldn't worry about battery much - you get ~30-35 hours per charge.

[size=x-large]
WINNERS:
- sohels *Visely Hea-1 Amp*
- The Legend *Microshar LOD*
[/size]

1) Only interested in the amp.
2) MIT
3) Electrical Engineering & Computer Science
4) 2010 (2011 if I get into the MEng program)
5) Because sitting in a cubicle being a code monkey just isn't quite as enjoyable without music.

Great giveaway! Always nice to see people give things away for free.

1. Both please!
2. University of California Irvine
3. Civil Engineering
4. 2010
5. I need a new portable amp and free is the perfect price!

Man, lots of engineers in here. Let the nerds gather...

1- Just the amp.
2- California State University Chico
3- Art Studio: Electronic Art
4- May 25 2008!
5- I bought my first amp fairly recently and it died before I got the chance to get to know it. I don't have the money to send it back to get it fixed, but I will get it repaired eventually and will have to contribute back to the good spirit of head-fi.

1. Either one, could put them both to good use.
2. Transferring to UCSD from CC.
3. MechE
4. 2009, possibly 2010 if I change major to something other than ME.
5. I have no dedicated amp aside from my Creek integrated, and the LOD would be fantastic to use with my 30gig 5G.

Hey OP!

I remember reading a post of yours I think where you said you would give it away someday to pass on the good deed. I'm glad to see you remembered! Would be so easy to just let it slide.

I have the next version of the Visely. While I hardly use it, I think it's a great amp for anyone who needs a portable solution.

I have a friend just getting into headphones just this last week. If he keeps his interest up, I think I may just follow your lead and pass it on to him. I'll think about it for a while first though, to make sure he's really interested. He's at the stage where he doesn't see the need for an amp just yet. Wouldn't want to give it to someone who wouldn't appreciate it.

Maybe I'm not QUITE as generous as you.

Anyway, kudos from me as well!

1. The AMP please.
2. Stanford University
3. Undeclared but likely music major with premed track
4. 2011
5. I am just so broke. I barely have enough money to buy textbooks..why are they so expensive?? hi-fi seems such a luxury now that my sennheiser is fed by a laptop. this amp would make my day so much brighter in the face of misery and midterms.

1. Just the amplifier, please.
2. Columbia College
3. Marketing/Public Relations(PR)
4. 2011 perhaps.
5. Portable rig could always use a little upgrading. Also, I've heard portable amps, odd IEMs, and weird cables hanging out of your ipod make you look cool. Maybe +50 cool points or so.

Very kind to pass on the gear again. Why CONUS only if you're asking for the winner to pay for the postage though?
