A question to those with cracked Phantom: Were/are your Phantoms always connected to the power surge? Maybe when they are switched off or unplugged often the thermal changes and resulting thermal stress are higher and could lead to these cracks. So far my 3 Phantoms have no cracks and are always on or stand-by more or less at same temperature. I have two with early serial numbers H08 and one H41. From time to time I listen at high volume (70 and up). So listening loud might not be a reason that develops cracks and maybe also not aging as two of mine I have since March 2015.
