    Someone fell in love with outrageously priced headphones?

    Nope. Just have to buy a box for them, and mail them. Been busy. Sorry about that.

    I just got the Utopia today from @ultrabike. Thanks, man!!

    Will be putting it through its paces. Won't mod or do anything to it (people know I have a habit of doing that :p). Just gonna listen as is to get a good feel for it.

    Then it'll be off to the next person in the list. I think my listening session will end around Thursday or Friday next week.

    Remove me from my place on the list. If there's room at the end add me there. Between new job and baby, I have no time to listen to anything. I don't even put the Andromeda in at work right now.

    Oops! I almost forgot that I was supposed to send this headphone out yesterday! But I was able to do that just in time. Phew...

    @foo_me should have it either today or on Monday. I'm guessing Monday since USPS doesn't seem to want to deliver anything but Amazon packages on Sunday.

    Anyway, next is to post impressions...

    Awesome! I was afraid it wouldn't get there on time.

    Now all doubts has been laid to rest. :)

    My impressions have been posted here as well. Please read only after you've done some listening, because I suspect my impressions may influence yours.

    Utopias have been sent to @philipmorgan yesterday.
    Awesome loaner program!...not sure I would have been able to hear these great headphones otherwise.
