Noble Audio - the Wizard returns!

It’s kind of its own thing. The only thing that i can think of is that it has a little of the zing that Pathfinder has. But it’s considerably more enjoyable. It’s sooo fast and big sounding. Stage is enthralling. It also layers instruments exceptionally well. But I really think speed coupled with how huge the sound is is what sets it apart from anything I’ve heard. It’s a blast to listen to!

From the get go, we knew this was going to be outside of the typical Noble house sound. I wanted to show, Noble was "bass capable" & I think we found a nice balance.

But without any of the crappy feel of customs.
Care the explain? I never had customs so I might learn something.

dynamic driver
Dynamic all the way bro... At least for bass and lower mids. But from there up I prefer BA only so far, no matter how much I like what Sultan and Ronin deliver in this area. Would be interesting if Noble could ever create an incredible treble experience with BA. You seem to be the guy that's always up for a challenge, then suddenly throw one on the table that beats the s**t out of all the others 😃

Personally I find that Ronin delivers an incredible treble experience. Accurate tone and well-balanced with the lower mids... Sets them apart from all the warmer sets I have tried... YMMV, etc.

If you're interested in the Spartacus, I wrote up some of my thoughts last week. Seems like I had some different takeaways than others, but I've been noticing the BC in general seems to create a little more variability in tuning experience than some other driver types.

I'm a really big fan, and outside of acoustic, folk, or things like classic vocal jazz, Spartacus is probably going to be one of my top recommendations in this range.
@tjzurlaaa - I'm not sure if this is exactly the IEM you're looking for in terms of imminently non-fatiguing treble, but it might be worth looking further into.

Obviously, the solution is to use a combination of dynamic, planar, BA, and electrostatic drivers. At least 16 BAs per side.

Congratulations on the HM-1! I'm sure many things will sound amazing with it!
