AerØ USB Tour (https://forms.clickup.com/f/80txj-340/P9VGP4UVTTTS2XJHDB)

Hey AC fam,

It's about that time! We've heard you ask for it, and we are excited to be announcing an AerØ USB Tour! Click the form to sign up in the purple text above to sign up.

What you've been saying about it has been pretty dang awesome, and so heartwarming for us at Hapa to see...

"We then installed the Aero, it was more of the same, very much like the Ember but with an even large spatial presentation, more distinction on voice and instruments, more resolution and subtle detail. Perhaps the Ember x1.5 or x2, no real way to put a number on it. What I was certain of, was how much difference there was between the stock Holo cable and the Hapa cables. I was also certain my wallet was going to notice." - Mike Galusha

"The AerØ is in another league. Mike Galusha nailed the description in his review above. The mini-review I emailed Jason when I first received the Aero on Aug 9th was one word: "Expansive". Nothing has changed my opinion since then. With the Aero in my system it is like hearing my music for the very first time. New instruments appear, recordings have space around the performers you never knew was there. There are exceptions of course, flat studio recordings remain flat, the excellent Jennifer Warnes album "The Hunter" still sounds great but there were no surprises. Surprisingly, Micky Hart's "Planet Drum" didn't reveal any added nuance, maybe I have used that album for a system check so often I know it all too well. "AerØ is a little fuller sounding than the Ember, an instrument's body is more apparent, it's nice. The Ember is not thin by any measure, I was completely happy with the sound. The Aero just has more there."  -WGH

Some info to note:

- Included in this tour is a sole 1.5m cable - no add ons, no dongles needed!
- We won't be including Ember for this one - we want you to experience the best of the best!
- The Tour will be split into two legs for the east and west coast, I will tally and organize them after signups are closed and shipping arrangements will be done via email with me.

I had a few folks ask about timing of the tour. Aero has been incredibly popular. In fact, regardless of cable type or price I have sold more of Aero than any other product. The feedback I’m getting is staggering. I have been listening to my Aero and cannot believe the dynamics and body.

 I have one set built for the tour and plan on getting the second set done after a couple client builds I have scheduled. I’m looking at early next week for both sets to go out to the first folks.

sign up now, once we hit 12 we're capping it.  :thumb:

I just received the Ember that is on tour and am breaking it in. I signed up for this one to see which one I like best in my humble system.

GentleBender brings up a great point, if you’re on the Ember tour you are more than welcome to join in on Aero tour as well.

Just sent my request in….I have a Lush 2 and a Sablon Audio 2020 to compare it to. It is a beautiful looking cable.

Thanks….Mike

Sorry about that gents, we will get it back out in short order.

We have kicked off the tour! our first folks will receive the cable late this week for west coast and early next week for west. The cables have a decent amount of time on them, but first folks give it a few days break in prior to evaluation please. Looking forward to all of your feedback and thoughts.  :popcorn:

I replied with an email stating that I agree with the terms of the Aero Demo.

Hope that will work!

AerØ USB made it in late yesterday.
Like all Jason's cables, just beautiful. Certainly no stranger to Hapa as I run a full loom of the Quiescence C.
Digital side is Hal MS-6 feeding an Audio Mirror Tubadour SE DAC.
Time to get to listening.

Never mind to the below - received another email with the text cut and pasted in the email.
I just received a second email with an attachment that can't be opened (see below).  I suggested cutting and pasting the text in the pdf file and including it in the body of the email.

As with Phil, I will be following up with anyone who has more issues opening the doc individually! Just doing our legwork, no rush, and no stress!

It would be helpful to know what the approximate schedule/order is by username.  The reason for the suggestion is that I have another amp on the way (should be middle of next week, give or take).  The amp is lightly used and somewhat broken in but before I rotate the amp I'm using in my main system to one of my several secondary systems (anyone who wants to start a go fund me page for a straight jacket for me - extra large is welcome to :lol:), I'd like to get a bit of time on it (when I rotate stuff whatever gets left out like musical chairs gets sold).

I’d love to try it, but my flying schedule is a nightmare, let me know if you can work me in.  Currently using an Audioquest Diamond from N200 Aurender to MW UDP 205.

Speakers are Magico A5 btw.  Sold the KEF 205/2s.
