Maverick A1 amp AC Tour will start next week.
Anyone who wants to participate in this tour please post here.  Please read the tour rules & conditions. 

Please do not post your impressions in this thread.  This thread is designated for you to sign up for the tour and keep track of the tour. 

You can post your impressions here:  http://www.audiocircle.com/index.php?topic=85615.0


Quick rules for the tour:
1.audition time - up to 10 days
2.you are responsible for shipping, insurance and condition of the unit while in your possession.
3.report any damages to me as soon as possible.
4.all members with 100 posts or less are required to deposit $160 in my PayPal account.  Ones the unit is received by next person on the tour and without issues, deposit will be returned to your PayPal account  (there is no PP fee for that type of transactions so you do not loose a penny).
5. No tube rolling.  I'll include some nice NOS tubes with the unit so it should sound pretty good out of the box.  (tubes are curtesy of AC member eclein).
6.Please post your impressions - good, bad or mixed.
This is the only reason manufacturers are willing to send these units out.  I am not talking about Maverick Audio but in general.  It is a 2way street - we get to play with their product, they get valuable feedback and exposure (most do not have dealers and sell direct).
7.Please do not try to change the scheduled order. If you can't do it when it is your turn, we will skip you and send it to the next person on the list. 
We will try to squeeze you back on the list of cause.  So no worries, you we get it back ASAP.

Contact me via PM with your info.

[Mariusz]

Back at you.

[eclein]

Hey Mariusz how are we doing with the tour? You mentioned sending me a unit a few weeks back but I haven't received it yet, if you shipped it its lost maybe??
I'm guessing you haven't sent them out yet because your measuring up your room for the New OMENS!!!!! or everybody bought one so your waiting on fresh ones??   
 Give me a heads up when it actually ships so I can notify the security folks down stairs to be on the lookout.........oh and,
How Do They Sound!!!
We need some excitement, some pumped up gear heads going crazy on caffeine....

[Mariusz]

Your unit has been ready for over a week.
Tried to ship it this week but was restrained by two weeks long jury duty and extremely long and stressful deliberation (which ended last night). I am back to normal now and have a lot of catching up to do. Will do all shipping to you and others this Monday and Tuesday.
One unit is out already but haven't heard from the guy in a while. I probably should send him a PM to find out what's up.
Please stay toon.
Your unit will be shipped shortly

P.S
Omens haven't show up yet.
Neither did the Tektons.
Bunch of cables came for the shoot out but that have to wait another week or so to start.
I am waiting for my Dodd buffer, Wyred4Sound 2 DAC and lots of music. It took few weeks to get but it looks like it will hit my doorsteps Mon or Tue.

Jury duty can be a drag... Welcome back Mariusz!!
It's all good!!

[Mariusz]

It's an experience to be sure. Especially, CSI type, Supreme Court case. 

[Mariusz]

Ed is done with his audition and Paul has the other unit at the moment.
Both units are available. Sign in if you wish to participate.
Keep in mind that Maverick is not a power house and works BEST with high efficiency speakers - 90db and above.
