^ dang.. my 18+s are on the way
If I had already bought the UE18+ I wouldn't have worried about it because those are amazing! I remember that Nic at one point thought they might well end up winning the shootout. So I am sure you will enjoy them!

I committed to the Phantom a while back, just couldn't say anything. As soon as Nic told me about them, they toppled the UE18+ as my next buy. :D
You blind bought like a real man hahaha

Yep! Everything I would normally never do. So if they turn out to sound like poop, Nic will have to buy me Legend X to make up for it. :stuck_out_tongue_winking_eye:

Black Friday 2018 seems like my go-to date for any new purchases

i will have been off serious buys since July 2017 so i can justify shelling out some dough for some new toys

Phantom seems like the one , hopefully there will be many owners chiming in so we get an even better image of how it sounds

Giiiiiiiive me a second... :wink:

It has all been a lot of fun (it still is, can't wait to hear from NYC!) and I knew about @Kerouac getting the prototypes without knowing what they were, so his impressions were great to confirm what Nic had explained to me. Plus reviewing has kept me sane (or as sane as I will ever be) while I wait to finally have that set of TOTL IEMs.

Yes. I did enjoy them, in fact I wasn't really expecting to be blown away by them when I auditioned it since I was already exposed to high end iems/HPs. So i pulled the trigger lol.

The details about @flinkenick 's impression about the Phantom is just really very impressive.

Well thanks anyways :)
