Would love to get custom Phantom as well but due to prior experience with another brand of ciems, I am worried that the right ear piece would constantly lose its seal. Guess I'll just have to make do with my universal Phantom.

are the phantom and lx out now? cause I can't see on their website?
You can contact @Ethan Groover or @Kaz_KaanIRL if you'd like to order either. Their website will be fully updated with the new line-ups soon.

Thx guys! Will wait for their website to update
Oh that would be cool! Do we all need to back you up and pressure Ethan a bit more? Because we will! We're all addicts looking for a fix at this point!
You have no idea... I have wanted them since they were still prototypes, all the time being tortured by Nic with impressions. He was like...I was ready to wait for 3 weeks. At least I told myself that. Then someone posted pics of his Phantom and I wondered why I lied to myself about being able to wait and immediately asked Ethan if I could pay the rush fee lol. Certainly don't regret paying to get it sooner, I applaud those of who who are more patient than I in being strong enough to hold out
"These are so good that I forget to listen to anything else." 
Really? "Oh yes, these are the ones for you!" Oh? "They are incredibly natural and accurate." *drool* "Their coherency is outstanding." [knees wobble] "They also very naturally reproduce male and female vocals." [collapses from sheer excitement] So after regaining consciousness and a brief period of rehabilitation, I have been waiting (im)patiently for them and they should come later this month.
Now say that last bit without that smug grin on your face!

@Wyville i think you should start a youtube channel called 'Angie and Devi' with those 2 lovely chaps of yours , discussing the pros and cons of buying hi-end TOTL ciems
Sure I have a smug grin on my face right now but I'm guessing you'll have the last laugh once the customs come in.Oh that would be cool! Do we all need to back you up and pressure Ethan a bit more? Because we will! We're all addicts looking for a fix at this point!

Has anyone a graph measurement of Phantom?
I just want to see its graph, regardless of how accurate it may or may not be. For reference purpose.
Thanks.

Great idea, hehe!
Funny thing is that my family has been telling me I should start a blog because of all the silly stories I come up with and my tendency to bring inanimate objects to life. I still have a really neat head-fi related stop-motion project in mind, but have not got around to trying out if it would actually work. Oh, but I am going universal as well! Left ear issues with CIEMs.Sure I have a smug grin on my face right now but I'm guessing you'll have the last laugh once the customs come in.
There is one on Head-Fi, but @flinkenick states that it bears no resemblance whatsoever to the graph he and EE created. So, I'd recommend against using it.

I don't think anyone has posted a graph to compare the SE5u vs. Phantom yet

So glad a few of you enjoyed my discussion about my fantasy Phantoms. Wow, that sounds like something out of Phantom of the Opera. I may have to call Andrew Lloyd Webber about this one.
On a totally different note, I do find it interesting that everybody is so into graphs when discussing IEMs of any sort. I know that graphs mean something, however they obviously are not the be-all end all by any means. I think part of this situation is due to the fact that there aren’t enough outlets for us to go listen to said IEMs. Regardless of what company, there just aren’t outlets to go listen so graphs have to suffice at times. I will say that I find it interesting that nearly everyone who has written about the Phantoms, who has spent any time with them, has said the exact same things about them. I believe strongly, that there are so few if any IEMs that are this neutral and this extended in both directions, that it’s a rare gem to find an IEM like the Phantom.
For EE to then come up with another line like the Legend X at the same time for all is just unbelievable. I’m not into hype, even though some of my postings may seem that way, but if you think about it, it’s very rare for a company to give three top of the line IEMs for people to enjoy. Just go to any of the CanJams or the larger stores in Asia and listen. I think that’s the only way to truly hear the magnitude of what EE has accomplished.
Pros to Dean, Jack and Catherine for nailing this. It’s the only reason I’m even here posting.
