It was a whole bunch of Canadians bulk ordering from a SEA dealer

Ah okay, then might have to wait just a bit. Hopefully not too long?

I have reached out to ask to see if they'll ship out w/o the cable as that seems to be the bottleneck.

Stock cable Mefisto ordered and potentially arriving tomorrow.

I've been without a TOTL since right after NYC Canjam when I parted with the EXT II reluctantly to find a slightly refined version in the highs. The Lime Ears Maris was my target but it doesn't seem like things are working out with any of the US distributors I like, so I moved on and with very few IEMs at 3k tops interesting me, here we are. Cautiously very optimistic lol

I was really hoping to get into a set with a good bone conduction implementation - looking for an all rounder for modern music - but nothing at 2-3K interested me besides the Maris which are no longer an option.

Don't worry, before you know it you'll be selling them to get the 'Margaretta'

I just received confirmation that my unit was not included with MusicTeck's receipt of Mefisto's this week After I was guaranteed a unit from the first batch... sigh.

Andrew says FE produced 8 Tour units and they received only 4 and they are going to people who ordered prior to me (grats guys!).

No ETA on my unit

Curious, when did you order? Might give me a hint to my own shipment

You ordered the bundle?

Mid-April. I confirmed with MT that I would be receiving a unit from the first batch prior to paying so this not becoming true... is a little rough

Nothing I can do about it though but wait.

You’d be ahead of me then I ordered May 10. I’m so impatient.

Bundle or stock version?

Bundle. Does anyone have that level of granularity on the shipments? Wasn’t thinking about that difference.

I spoke to Musictech yesterday and he mentioned they got far fewer units overall than they were promised, including no demo unit. Production issues. I think most people went for the bundle especially.
