Lol, my cat as kitten, just chilling.
She might tolerate a pair of K10's in her ears given how chill she can be (no, I'm not going to try it).
P.S. The K10 is one of the best to pair with the new X5-3. Can't wait to try them with the Hugo2.
Just to chip in on the cable conversation, for any of you looking for a good after-market cable - in the USA especially - I can recommend the Type 6 copper litz from Impact Audio (on Etsy). It's an extremely well made (to order) & fantastic sounding cable at a (reasonably) sensible price. Just make sure you go for half-sleeve - I ignored Lindsay's advice & went for full-sleeving... I could probably tow a truck with it.
Obviously a troll...just joined today to spam the threads. Most who bought Noble will also know of 64Audio
Don't get me wrong I loved both brands...my 2 items of choice for daily use are my K10UA and U8...will add a Katana and tia Forte when they start shipping
Nice.
I preferred the U18 to the tia Fourte, though. Still, with a stable of IEMs ranging from Katana and the tia to the K10U and the U8, I think you're pretty much covered in terms of clear, fun and musical signatures.

For sure will audition them again when I get a chance next...tbh I only need 2 for variety so the "One-In, One-Out" rule will apply

Did u try the sage, that may be a more economical option
The shop (e-earphone) didn't have it in stock, so only manage to check out its old man, the savant. I think the PR manage better than the savant for now, though not sure when measuring against the sage.
By the way, the warranty for the PR has ended, but if something bad were to happen to it, can Noble still rebuild it, even at a cost?

I cant really answer that question as it would depend on the availability of the part that failed.

I have the Savanna and I love it! Now I'm considering the Sage - how does its signature differ from the Savanna? Many people have praised its imaging capabilities - is it better than the Savanna in that regard? What about the highs - I feel that the splash cymbal could use a little more decay on the Savanna? The bass?

Im a Sage kind of guy, the Savanna..... the bass response for some is ample enough..... but it wouldn't do for me for extended periods of time. Kind of like my 25 year old BMW M3.... yea its good, but there are times when 280Hp, just isn't enough.... need some more punch, and she just can't give it
Now back to audio, I've heard some say the Savanna offers a wider sound stage, and that may be true....
So I guess it comes down to is what do u value more, bass, or wider sound stage?

I auditioned them very briefly a couple of months ago and the Sage has a bit more bass. I can't really say too much about the differences given it was only a few minutes, but the Sage was more engaging. I personally liked the Dulce Bass even more.

Thanks! As I said I already have the Savanna and this is not a "either-or" kind of a dilemma - if the Sage is different enough to bring something new to the table (and I still like it) I'll have and enjoy both

Oh John, you make me hungry to try the Sage. Pinky's anticipation rises!

It's like Kaiser but with less than half the price Highly recommended, for the value and quality
