Mine's also been taken in charge by RM now, so just a little more patience...
Sorry to hear guys. Specially if you are abroad. That will be delivered tight before Christmas. Hopefully its just a system glitch.
While my one is a bit more advanced, and i am expecting to get it tomorrow, we all know Royal mail is busy as hell at this time of year.
And they can barely pull their weight when less busy.
Same here !Mine, just left Nottingham mail centre for Heathrow international mail centre.
Initial impressions (box fresh, 5 mins listening):
It's everything I was expecting. Big IMR bass (black/black filters), mids are smooth and detailed. Big sound, with a nice sense of scale and openness.
Will burn in for a few days and come back with some proper impressions. Need to work out which filters will dial back the bass just a touch to let me hear the midrange microdetail to see how good this planar driver really is.
One point definitely jumps outb right away - haven't tried the Aten, but the Rah shape is the best fitting of the IMR models I've tried by a considerable margin - definite ergonomic improvement over the Zenith for my particular ear shape.
Have you tried putting them with the cable down?
