That was an amazing review.
Yup it is a great review.
With one error I think regarding what they say about the P (which I did a lot of research on
)They say the P has a TPM 3000 dual-sided magnet transducer.
But actually the P-SE is driven by the TPM 2500 transducer which is a derivative of the P's TPM 3100 (single-sided magnet) transducer.
Which, of course, is why it sounds so good.

Hi
I have to travel this coming saturday and will not be back home for about 3 weeks, but i will give them a quick 48 hour burn in and then a quick write up, but a full scale article will probably only come next month when i have had a chance to burn them in for a good 150/200 hours.
Must say though, i am rather excited

I don't want to lead the witness but I think you will be pleased!
I am now only 5 days into my demo P (my pair coming soon) and I'm sure it will be a great companion hp to my beloved susvara. Great detail and it does go deeper than the susvara. I think the susvara may still better by a bit in imaging and comfort but both of these hp make me smile.

Hi
The fact you compare the Solitaire P next to the Susvara has me salivating, i seriously did think of getting the Susvara, but i was slightly put off with stories about the build quality, certainly not a worry with T+A, their products are rock solid, also on my list was the 1266 Phi TC, but i like to lie back when listening, so that pretty much ruled out that set of cans as i do not want to sit bolt upright for hours on end

It amazes me how realistic and 3D the horns sound with Solitaire P. I was listening to the album Duo by Bojan Zulfikarpasic and Julien Lourau while working, and that sax just shook me and took me out of my mental isolation, as it was scary realistic.

Thanks to everyone contributing to this thread especially @DarginMahkum, all really useful, subject to spending a few days with both the P and P-SE. Something very weird happened, something that i cant remember happening to me before... i preferred and bought cheaper ones!!

I consider the cheaper ones prettier, unfortunately the expensive ones Hit right home in terms of sound signature for me.Thanks to everyone contributing to this thread especially @DarginMahkum, all really useful, subject to spending a few days with both the P and P-SE.

Anyways, welcome to the club

thank you, before i read about these in the heafonics review i was about pull the trigger on a another pair of Utopias, which i like a lot, but these had the speed (well almost) definitely quick transients and dynamics, but just all slightly easier especially with less than perfect recordings. Staging was wider and touch deeper too. All a really nice compliment without being too far away from my beloved stellias. Just have painful few days of watching them run in as these are definitely not quite where the demo pair were
