i was emailing someone about a loaner program to test out a pair before i buy, but they said its on the back burner due to "logistics", because of covid19. ive been trying since feb 1st to try the u18t, but they had a waiting list. i asked about the u12t and they said its not possible right now.

Some brief impressions of the A18s relative to the A18t...

The 18s is definitely built off of the T's DNA. It still possesses all the fantastic technical attributes that the t has with its superb imaging, separation, and sound stage.

Where the 18s differs to my ears is that I hear more impact on the lower end and better quality relative to the T. I also hear the mid range to be a bit more forward and lush. Vocals also don't sound as dry on the 18s. The sound is slightly thicker overall relative to the T.

Overall they are quite similar in many ways but I think the S with its slightly different tuning approach will be a more favorable option for many. It hits a sweet spot between musicality and still being a reference monitor. Very impressed so far... 2 thumbs up from me.

Edit: listening done through SP2000.

Thought about the A18s, but don’t want to sell my A12t. Are they different enough? I believe it would be different enough from the rest of my IEM / CIEMs. Also considering the N8.

I've never heard the 12t's unfortunately.

Also I just wanted to add, 64 audio used my impressions on file from January of 2019, since then I’ve lost about 20 lbs and my A18s fit perfectly.

Figured I would share that as I’ve seen some concerns in the past before about weight changes and CIEMs.

congrats on the s...and the weight loss!

@mvvRAZ (or anyone else!) have you heard anything new on the K9?

Thank you

Just bought my first 64 Audio product a few days ago and just wanted to lay down my inital thoughts.

The U18T’s are the first iem I’ve ever semi blind bought after not listening to them for about 2 years. I was initially worried that I wouldn’t love the U18T coming off an Andromeda S.

My sound preference is usually clinical and reference sounding with my gaze focused on the Inear pp8 as my next IEM. But I got a great deal that I couldn’t resist and next thing you know, the u18ts were at my door.

First thing I noticed was the separation and detail, like, holy moly. My god, when paired up with my SP1000 SS I just didn’t want to take it out of my ears. Nearly everything sounded fantastic, even some poorer recordings found ways to perform where my sensitive andro wouldn’t. I’ve still got a lot of listening to go, and I'm enjoying every second of it. I’m also sure I’ll be visiting this thread a lot more!

PS. Anyone want a Andromeda Stainless Steel?

Edit: Just noticed that I got the blessed post number

congrats, man!

enjoy the 18...it is a fantastic transducer, and remains one of the best i've heard to date.

what music do you listen to?

and don't forget to try both apex modules!

 

[Whymez]

Thanks, I'm delighted to have them!

I don't really have a type, I kind of listen to everything! Although I'm listening to a lot more Jazz, blues and older rock a lot more with these earphones. Or pretty much anything well engineered. Which is interesting considering my side job/hobby as a Dj has a host of songs that are the opposite of what I just stated, and the U18Ts are now my monitor of choice for mixing.

So here was the catch for the good price. The seller wanted to keep one of the modules for his other IEMs. I chose the M15 for now and will be buying a m20 soon!

 

[toaster]

try some npr tiny desk concerts...they all sound amazing on the 18.

the m15 module really showcases the best of what the 18 can do - airy, large stage, flat and neutral response across the entire frequency range, tia treble, etc.

definitely good to have the m20 as well though, so you can switch between the two whenever you want.

Nice one! Guess you bought it from David. (I had my eyes on it too)

 

[GiullianSN]

I mostly use M20 on my A12t.

I use M15 in my A12t. I love options!
