Two birds with one stone - I have a hardly-used pair of Focal Utopia I don't want ... if anyone wants them for $1500, I'll send them to you, and you send the money to Amir.
I have story about my wife’s engagement ring I’ll have to share sometime. It did turn up, but it was a stressful couple of months when she thought I wasn’t going to proposeI’ve shipped thousands of items through UPS, FedEx and USPS. I’ve had some go missing, but as a previous post stated, they always came up. I hope these show up soon.
That is incredibly generous of you Inner Space. Wow, respect Sir.Two birds with one stone - I have a hardly-used pair of Focal Utopia I don't want ... if anyone wants them for $1500, I'll send them to you, and you send the money to Amir.

Even so...Thanks, but I would hate to create a false impression - the Focal pro folks sent them as an Xmas present.

Another great idea. What a creative bunch we have here. Of course so it does not look shady, I will decline the ticket.Or, if no one bites, 15-20 £100 donations, each gets a raffle ticket for the Utopia.
Insanely generous. I already have a pair so I'll put myself at the very end of the list. The only reason for that is I think have one of the dark early models like the one Tyll first reviewed. I do have a HE6se I can part with but unfortunately I've torn it up to make it fit my fat head so it needs a new headband - and full transparency, I don't feel that it's as good as the original HE6.Two birds with one stone - I have a hardly-used pair of Focal Utopia I don't want ... if anyone wants them for $1500, I'll send them to you, and you send the money to Amir.
Agreed. Let me look through and make a list.@amirm can you please elaborate on which gear you have that you might offer for sale? It might facilitate the fundraising efforts. I hope this situation is quickly resolved!
If you want to buy my HE6SE that I sent I might be able to part with it. I don't use it much and primarily had it for collection purposes. Might even do it straight across for an SMSL S-9 stack you measured.Hello you all. Last weekend was a depressing one. I found out that the Hifiman HE-6 which I had return to its owner had vanished in UPS pipeline. This is the first package that I have sent out of hundreds that has gone missing. UPS quickly declared it lost on the claim and we are now working through the paperwork to get our shipping fee back and the automatic $100 insurance we have with the commercial account.
I could have paid insurance one everything I ship back but that would have cost us thousands of dollars by now. On specific instances members have asked for insurance and I have added that but in this case, we did not.
Given how good this headphone is, the owner is naturally very distraught over the loss. I like to make him whole somehow as he like others who loan gear, are serving the membership as much if not more than for themselves. I don't know what the options are for finding another unit. He is open to getting the HE-6SE but I am not sure of the availability of those either. And at any rate, these things are not cheap!
I like to see if we can raise the cash for equivalent replacement cost ($1,500 to $2,000 I am estimating). I can provide some of that, or sell some gear to raise that. On the latter, if you have seen something I have that I tested, please reach out to me with a good offer for this cause.
Otherwise, may I please have a show of hands on who can donate and how much? You can post it here or send me a message.
Also, if you have this headphone or the HE-6Se and want to sell it, please contact me and tell me the details.
Appreciate everyone's help on this. I have literally been sick to my stomach since I realized this has happened.
Ah, that is a good option since I already have yours. Let me circle back relative to some other options.If you want to buy my HE6SE that I sent I might be able to part with it.

Sure thing. Just let me know.Ah, that is a good option since I already have yours. Let me circle back relative to some other options.
