I’m hoping shipping times aren’t too bad knowing the holidays coming up. Could take like 2-3 months to get them after ordering.
No problem, hopefully I didn't get too many people in trouble.Barra,

So have most people preferred the U18 Tzar or the Fourte?
For me it's the Fourte. The A18 is an excellent headphone for sure, but most of the time I'm reaching for the Fourte.
Regardless of which one I am listening to this thought often crosses my mind: "Wow, I can't quite believe I get to listen to these!"
That thought/feeling is just stronger with the Fourte.
My thought is it really comes down to personal preference, the gear you drive them with, and the types of music you listen to.
If you gave some insight along these lines you will likely get worthwhile feedback.
Also, if you are in the USA you can still get in on the Demo Tour and try them yourself.

I actually received both to demo today (outside of this tour), i am in LOVE with the Fourte. It is truly awesome and I struggle to find any flaws. Unfortunately my U18 demo has some distortion in the right ear piece so I can't really listen to it. That being said, the fit on the U18 for me was slightly awkward so I'm not even sure I would have liked them anyways.

Nice! (but not surprising)
Looking forward to your thoughts after further listening.
FWIW, myself and a few others have found the Fourte treble and imaging is best when they are more deeply inserted. I went from the large tips I use with all other IEMs to a medium tip.

Both of my ears use the small tips so I don't think I can do anything else with regards to that. XD

Wondering why aren’t both modules (15/20) included when you purchase these at this price... just seems like a way to nickle and dime someone...

I much preferred the Tzar, (impressions pending). The treble was just too much with the Fourte for me.
However, some have said they prefer them with foam tips and I'm thinking I might have enjoyed them a little more that way? Kinda wished I would have tried that but on the other hand, I do not at all like the inconvenience of foam tips, and all I used for tips is my preference for Spin Fits.
I am just about ready to pull the trigger for the Tzars. Looking forward for that “out-of-this-world depth and soundstage”!
