I dont think you will be disappointed if you are the type that likes a little more kick in the music. TOTL cans are all great and if you own others its a little hard to get blown away.  Its probably how long it can stay on your head haha.

Meh I used to be a watch freak so this hobby is much more practical than a Rolex.

I'm hoping for the best.

not as expensive yes - more practical no

there is no "best" but hopefully you'll be happy with it

 

[draytonklammer]

I'm sure I'll be very happy with it.

Every TOTL I've tried has impressed me and I've owned all but the Abyss and have currently settled on the LCD-4 for my taste.

The Abyss is the last piece of the puzzle before I settle on my summit.

Actually when you tried them all, do write a review. I think it will be very helpful from someone that owns them all. I believe most here audition most of them but wont have long term experience which probably matters more.

 

[draytonklammer]

I'll for sure do so when my Utopia arrives.

 

[up late]

early adopter there. not many utopia impressions around the place.

 

[draytonklammer]

I'm hoping I can write clearly enough to define my Utopia listening experience.

I also hope I can convey the differences when compared to other TOTL.

Definitely looking forward to your impressions of the Abyss and Utopia.  Especially in comparison of the HE1000.   Do you have impressions of the LCD4 in comparison to the HE1000?

I owned both for months together.

I will write one once I have most of them together to try and make it coherent.

The easiest description I can give writing on my phone instead of a keyboard is the LCD-4 being more intimate with a much more incredible and euphoric midrange while the HE-1000 has a wider soundstage, is more comfortable and lighter. The HEK is also not as quick as the LCD-4. The HEK is also easier to drive.

Will probably update it again next week. Pretty much spent the last 2 day listening to it for over 6 hrs a day.

I loved reading your review thanks for sharing your thoughts. Anymore thoughts when compared to the LCD-4 by chance?
