Cryok95, 
 
No, unfortunately I was not on the UM demo list.
 
As for the perception of soundstage it would be hard to disagree with your comment on subjectivity. Also, the perception of soundstage varies, for me at least, with the music I'm listening to. Sometimes my EX1000 covers the center or middle of the stage admirably, and so the relationship of the soundstage is inextricably linked to the nature of a recording. The RE262, for instance, has sounded both extremely intimate, but more commonly very deep and distant with a forward vocal projection. I suppose nothing in the headphone hobby has confused my understanding so much as consistently denoting the parameters of a soundstage.

Haha, you are lucky. I hope you enjoy them!
 
Somehow, it seems that my impressions didn't get to UM. It should have arrived weeks ago. Oh, isn't this just jolly.

How come they didn't tell you they didn't receive it?

Mine just arrived today.  I had emailed Stephen on the 7th asking for a status update and he said they should be completed soon.  I never got an email saying they shipped so this was a nice unexpected surprise.
 
Initial impressions (15 min at lunch with my Iphone 4):
 
Fit
Inserting them is strange as I've never worn customs and it will take a little practice.  They seem to seal well but they also press on my ear canals a little so I'm going to have to wait a week or so to see if I get used to the fit.  They seal out sound easily as well as my Ety's with olive tips which are my benchmark for isolation.
 
Sound
Wow.  Coming from my new favorites, my HE-500s, these are amazing.  The lows are much deeper and just as clean and the coherence between low/mid/high is completely seamless.  I thought I found audio nirvana with the HE-500s but these surpass them in almost every way.  What amazes me is the soundstage (headstage) has equal width and more depth than a set of open cans.  I will spend some quality time at home with some lossless files and my DACport and report back with more details.
 
I was nervous with the recent posts about sound quality and knowing my expectations are always a little too high.  I can honestly say that so far, these are exceeding my expectations.

Good stuff! 
 
As far as this being your first set of customs: obviously time will tell, but it is potentially a good sign if they initially seem tight. Much better than initially seeming loose. The first time I wore customs I could only do 20 minutes a day, and it killed my ears. After about a week I guess I got used to the feeling, and I've loved them ever since.

Now apparently UM found it after I asked Stephen to tell UM to check again. Oversight, perhaps.
 
However, this could be a huge oversight. If my IEM isn't finished before they ship the current batch then I'm gonna have to wait a good month or so. I would be extremely miffed and that alone would probably earn a few lines of negative comments when I review it.

You may wish to ask them for a free rush build. It's worth a shot. If not I think you will get your items probably in 2012.

Already asked Stephen if it will still make the batch.

I have serious concerns though.. one of the impressions doesn't go deep enough, and I did ask for custom art. Really. Complicated. Custom art.
 
Still hopeful.

Reading this review was a mistake... Was going to just get the TF10s reshelled and probably still will but these just sound eargasmic. Woo for being 18, time to start saving... Or getting a credit card(terrible idea)

As a fellow eighteen year old who owns a Miracle, take my advice and do not get a credit card to purchase one!
As you said, horrible idea!

Yes!!!! Finally got an email from Yusuf at Ampcity confirming they have received my customs and will be shipping it soon.
 
 

Hi,

First of all, thank you for you patience regarding the delays with our promo orders. We do however finally have some great news for you!

Your customs have now arrived at our UK office and will be shipped imminently. Due to a delay with the AmpCity Fortis promo cables, we will be shipping all promo orders with a complementary 50" copper cable.

We will send all the promo items in a separate package within the next few weeks (Fortis cable, hoodies and USB keys).

If you have any further questions at all regarding the arrangements, please do not hesitate to let me know.

Have a merry Christmas!

Regards
Yusuf

Guess this means everyone who ordered through Ampcity should receive theirs soon.
