Grover Tour

[AcidJazz]

Guess I should sign up too...can compare them to my old Grovers' and my current' which left those old Grovers in the dust...unless, my old Grovers get sold by the time they get here...then they would be H2H with my current...
Well, you get the idea.

This is going to be fun. I'm new to these tours, I send the cable to a member he evaluates them, then he sends them back to me and I send them to the next member? Or do members send the cables to the next member? I plan to make the cables very sturdy to survive the ordeal.

Usually the guy who has them just sends them off to the next person. What is the time limit for each person to evealuate them ?

[AcidJazz]

Grover, usually its a 1 week evaluation  at each stop. Each person on the tour is responsible for shipping to the next person on the list, with shipping notifications to both the next person and the vendor/manufacturer. The last person on the list ship the cables back to you.
Impressions/reviews are posted in the tour demo thread.

I say 2 weeks. Not all of us are home to listen all day long.

I'm OK with two weeks, I'll make a publish the first few stops.

Grover,

Do you have any kind of cable cooker that you could use to give the tour cable a good burn in before it heads out? If you want to try and keep the stops down to a week the cable might not even be broken in before the first one or two folks have to ship it off.  Even if you don't have a cooking device per se it might be a good idea to give it a good burn in at the factory before it hits the road even if that means delaying the tour for a week or so. That way at least everybody gets to hear the cable at its best.

If "Tmazz" is participating in the tour, please put me on the list too.  We live all of about 5 miles from each other.

Thanks!

If someone attending the October Rave has them on the 29th, please be sure to bring 'em on over (doubt Grover would mind)

I'm game for some IC adventure and live close to both Tom and Bill so handoffs are easy. But I really want to hear the speaker cables.

Grover, please read this, it might help you:

I want to be included on the tour and would like to hear Grover's new IC's and speaker wire. I have several versions of Grover's offerings up to the 'SC(dot)' and a 'S Graphite' phono cable. Has Grover mentioned if this will be a hereto unheard version or is he still playing with the SX?

For anyone who hasn't heard his cables, I suggest jumping at this opportunity as his cables have been a revelation for me at times, bettering the likes of Cardas, Kimber and Nordost (among others) in my system. I also appreciate that they fit the smaller RCA jack plates on vintage gear - Dynaco, Fisher, McIntosh, Scott, Sherwood, etc. Its usually a tight connection so care must be taking putting them on and taking them off but that's a good thing as it makes a solid contact.

  Grover. As one who has conducted tours please take some advice.
   First off choose a carrier and insurance requirements. Allow two weeks between auditioners. A mandatory written review on AN.
  Break in the cables fully to avoid the BS. Provide a complete set to cover ones system. Say two ICs and one set speaker cables. A digital cable if available. With ones system wired with a full set one can discern the affect of each when removed or visa versa. The synergy wrought by a complete system will do your product more good than harm.
  Best of luck.

rollo that's good advice but I'd like to keep it simpler than that. Starting with only the RCA's will give people a very good idea of my cables capabilities. Guys with expensive cables should also take advantage of the tour. I'll break in the cables and begin the tour next week. I'll publish a schedule of sorts. I know there will be variables and unforeseen things. I hope to get an easy to use tin for convenient packing and sending.

  Cool. Can't wait to try them.
