Just got my Phantom Gold over the holiday season and it went well beyond my expectations 
Most of the music I listen to sound so much better and more realistic...vocals, guitar, strings, and of course anything bass-heavy, except one instrument - piano.
To be honest, compared to my current $1k system, Phantom Gold can render a lot more details and can compare to some $10k system (the Ensemble) I listened to at the dealer. In one classic solo recording, I can even hear every time the pianist presses the pedal! However, the tonal quality doesn't really feel any better and it still doesn't quite sound like the real thing (we have a fairly good grand piano at home). Specifically, I'd like to hear a fuller, more transparent sound that has the singing quality of the original.
Do you listen to piano on Phantom and do you feel the same?
