Thank you @MatW @paradoxper @Gadget67 for your replies. My wife will be very happy when she hears I bought her something nice for the dining room, but she won't believe me when I tell her I got it off a recommendation from a head-fi forum, haha.
Go with Wedgewood ... fine bone china is what you'd want.

I feel your pain. I’m almost on month 5 waiting for my Solitaire P. :deadhorse:

The TCs are worth the wait though. I’m not sure the same can be said of the Solitaire P :thinking:

This is surprising. I ordered my TC and got it shipped in about a week, from Audio46. Reached my sister’s house in VA soon after and eventually, my current address, a little later.

Probably depends if the dealer has to order from Abyss, or can fill from stock.
A lot of people are getting discounts from the dealers, but the dealers have to special order from Abyss, and obviously they fill the direct orders first.
I had to wait 12 weeks to get mine, and from what I can tell from my dealer, even direct orders were heavily delayed by a CNC issue, and then Abyss not having the wooden boxes they ship in.

Finally it's here!
After listening for a few hours, I could easily say the wait is totally worth it. :)

@Sajid Amit was obviously very lucky! I looked through many dealer web pages leading up to my purchase and the 1266 was always unavailable or on back order. Those who ordered directly from Abyss tended to receive their headphones relatively quickly. It appears the backlog is rapidly going away so I hope everyone who has these on back order receive them soon!

Indeed.

Heavenly combo, congrats mate :beyersmile:

LOVE the Rooms stand, must eventually get one as well.

If you ever feel like it, I would recommend trying the TC out of the speaker taps of the AIC-10 for another out-of-your-head experience uptick.

I am a bit jealous of your honeymoon stage (although mine has not ended yet after 2 years now lol). Enjoy and please let us know how it goes :)
