This is the tour list for the Gaea. It is currently en route to @jwilliamhurst. If you name is on here and it shouldn't be (or if it isn't but should). Please advise.

Other active tours here.

A couple notes...

As usual make sure you're familiar with tour processes and general information.

When it comes to shipping:

1) In Canada all shipping is to be done via Canada Post express-- no exceptions.

2) For US members please use whatever local method is in your estimation safest and most reliable.

While there is no strict requirement for impressions or a review it is clearly in the interests of the community as a whole (manufacturers and enthusiasts) for people to at least share some sincere thoughtful impressions of IEMs they get a chance to hear. I encourage people to share their thoughts in the Watercooler thread and/or dedicated product threads where appropriate.

These tours are a very helpful and productive way to get something we all desire-- more ears on great IEMs. I currently do this on more-or--less a volunteer basis and don't make any demands on people other than that they respect tour protocols and the gear so as to assure that we get to keep manufacturers and retailers willing to send us gear demo-- we are all in this together.

Lastly don't hesitate to recognize or refer to this tour program when it would be helpful and appropriate to do so. If indeed these tours do in the end provide a net good to this community then the greater the perception of this by said community can only lead to more good for all.

Cheers, Jeff.

Thank you Jeff! I am very excited to demo EA x EA Gaea!
I will definitely share my impressions.
If there is a spot, I would like to demo UM Mentor as well, when the tour begins next year. Thanks for organizing this! :)

@Rockwell75 appreciate all the work here, thank you. Can you pull me off of the Effect Audio/Gaea tour and place me on the US leg of the Muktiverse Mentor tour, please?

Just a reminder to everyone participating in the tours to communicate when you receive a tour kit, and when you pass it on and also that people should keep kits no longer than a week before passing them on.

@Rockwell75

I’m removing myself from the Canadian tour for the time being. I just adopted a puppy and unfortunately don’t have a tonne of free time to audition anymore. I’ll add myself back on in the summer when he’s a bit older and less dependent.

His name is Mouse. We got him at 7 weeks old and he was just over 2lbs. Most of these photos are more recent so he's 13-14 weeks in these and more like 4.5 to 5lbs. He's a chihuahua/terrier mix so at full size he should be closer to 15-17lbs.

My apologies for leaving the tour but he's still a puppy and I really can't trust him around my gear (or any gear for that matter). We're teaching him to not bite and snatch but he's still teething for a few more months so I've put the hobby on hold for about 6 months while he's training.

Luckily I'm still able to put in about 10-15 hours a week in headtime at work but my schedule is super tight and don't have time for meet-ups and drop offs.

I'll rejoin the tour when he's a bit older and I trust him more.
