Woohoo!! When you set a common objective for a group to rally around, any goal is feasible. Hats off to you @Inner Space
If there's a next-level membership, @Inner Space has got my vote!Due to huge generosity of member @Inner Space who donated his Focal Utopia to the member, he is happy.
Photos are of actual sale items. Radio still has protective film over the display.SOLDIntel NUC DN2820FYKmini-PC, for $50 Used, 8.0/10 condition, glossy black plastic top looks a bit dull from dust abrasion otherwise very good. Includes 4 GB RAM and power supply but no operating system, VESA mounting bracket or drive (takes any 2.5" SATA drive). Makes a great music server with Vortexbox, Daphile. I think this was also the model used by JRiver for their original Id appliance. Power supply is universal 100-240V type, but is fitted with USA-type 2-prong plug.
Fujifilm Instax SQ10 hybrid instant camera $70. Black, Used 9.5/10 condition. Includes 3 packs of film.
Tecsun Q3 portable FM radio, orange color. $20, Used 9.5/10 condition. Surprisingly good sound for such a small radio.
Put it in the insured return freight fund.Thanks everyone for the kind donation. Due to huge generosity of member @Inner Space who donated his Focal Utopia to the member, he is happy. I now have this slush fund of all the donations on top of that. Please let me know if you want your money back. Otherwise, I will put the funds towards the forum.
Your support of me and the member who lost his headphone went above and beyond anything I could imagine. We not only share a great hobby, but also a great heart!
If it makes you feel better, you can consider my donation a bribe to get that pair of Sundaras reviewed ASAP.Now I am back depressed that I put you all through this and caused you all to donate money and such. I am very sorry about that.
That's great that it isn't lost!OK... so this is strange turn of events....
Get all of our shipments and what do I find? The darn HE-6 headphone box! They returned it to me. My shipping labels is not on the box. Only the outbound one is so they proceeded to deliver it again. I don't know what happened to my label. Either I forgot to put it on , or it peeled off somehow. Either way, I have notified the owner of the unit and @Inner Space to not send in his Utopia.
I guess you all created such good Karma that it resulted in the headphone being found!!! Now I am back depressed that I put you all through this and caused you all to donate money and such. I am very sorry about that.
And my Infinity RS152s I sent in around Christmas .If it makes you feel better, you can consider my donation a bribe to get that pair of Sundaras reviewed ASAP.
You're the man. Really. I would donate $500 for the Senns. Thats not a typo?
Glad the headphones are found and back in safe hands.OK... so this is strange turn of events....

Donation for Focal Utopias is complete. Thanks so much for the generousity @Inner Space !I'm @Inner Space and I'm very touched by the nice things you've all said about me. Now of course I find myself the recipient of all that good karma ... and I'm doing nothing for it, thanks to UPS's weird ways.
So ... time to double down!
Background: movies and TV (much more than the music business itself) get you gifts all the time. Some years ago I worked postproduction sound on a movie, in a suite Focal had equipped. The movie did good box office and won major awards, including for sound. Therefore the Focal people keep me on their Xmas list. Hence the Utopias, which were superfluous, because I only use headphones at my NYC place - and I already have a pair there.
Similar thing with Neumann - they sent me Senn HD820s.
It's absolutely not cool with me either personally or professionally to sell gifts for personal cash.
So ... here's the deal: I'll send you either pair, if you donate to ASR - $1500 for the Focals, $500 for the Senns. Chronologically @Helicopter has first dibs on the Focals. The Senns are up for grabs.
Again, sincere thanks for the nice things y'all said.
