Hi Hank,
you know I believe you, but the problem is that those receivers are so darn
rare I've never ever seen one except on Ebay and in the article published in
Electric Radio a while ago. So outside of yourself and a handful of hardcore
tube radio collectors nobody understands how good they are. And the
multi-Kbuck price tag is another thing; for that kind of  loot I'm thinking
I'd have more fun putting down a payment on an old motorcycle instead of yet
*another* boatanchor radio.

So here's what I propose......The EK-07 Appreciation Tour!, it works like
this...........

You ship one of those bad boys over to a list member (I'll start), and we
each get a week to listen around on it and find out how deficient and
physically puny our beloved R-39x's are in comparison. And during that time
we each promise to take meticulous notes on its superiority and post the
results here, and also to everyday at sunrise give a snappy heel-click in
the direction of Munich (location of Rohde & Schwarz world HQ).

Finally after our week is up we then take care of shipping it to the next
guy on the appreciation tour list and include an extra $5 towards a kitty to
reimburse you for the original shipping cost. At the end of the tour, about
a year, the result will be a small horde of EK-07 fans who will then acquire
one at any cost and before long we'll create our own EK-07 mailing list.
Sound cool or what!
