    SpiralEar IEM Setup Help

    Hello! So I've been out of touch with the audiophile community for almost 6 or so years now. I unearthed my old customs recently as well as this SR71b SRA amp that I still have left after selling off most of my equipment. I figured due to new policy with SE there was no point transferring or...

    Noble Audio - the Wizard returns!

    After using my K10s on and off I'm left perplexed by my left earpiece's fit. Like it sounds a bit more muffled than my right whenever I insert it fully. When I pull on my earlobe a bit it sounds like everything becomes unblocked and everything comes through. I hope this is just me putting them...

    Review: Spiral Ear SE 5-way Reference - A new level of resolution? (Review posted 5/15/12)

    Oh wow, indeed it seems he doesn't respond after an order is placed, if only to confirm the impressions are received. My 3-Way Pros will be finished sometime at the end of this week. Time to revel in the much exalted comfort, resolution, and shape-shifting by way of PRaT

    Review: Spiral Ear SE 5-way Reference - A new level of resolution? (Review posted 5/15/12)

    Lol I dunno if that's a joke or not, I've actually only corresponded with him in English, wasn't aware he prefers strictly Polish. Maybe that's why he's rejected my impressions and spam-zoned me D:.

    Review: Spiral Ear SE 5-way Reference - A new level of resolution? (Review posted 5/15/12)

    Um, I've sent in an order for some Pro model 3-ways like 7 days ago, sent 3 emails. In the beginning yeah he was pretty responsive like to within an hour of messaging him. Maybe an influx of orders or a particularly daunting 5-way design ?_?

    I can't seem to get in touch with the Grzegorz for some reason, has anyone noticed a lack of replies, or is it just me D:

    Spiral Ears 5-Way Reject Association

    Hi all my name is nichief (hi, nichief) and I was rejected for smaller than normal conchs when sized up for the 5-way. What's next for me in the way of ultimate resolution, soundstage, and punctuated bass? Should I pursue the 3 or 4-way models or go for one of the similar Custom Art/ Vision Ear...

    The sooner my Coca-Cola Kaiser's come in, the quicker I can block this website on my ISP's plan. I pray that my care package arrives before the new announcements come out...

    Universal IEM/Headphone congruent to the Hidition NT6 Pro sound sig

    Hello all, I'm finding it a bit difficult to find a gateway drug into the experience that is the New Tear 6 "Pro", More specifically I would love to find a type of headphone that is not of the custom variety and could essentially be a demo for something that is, in a few words, analytical...

    I just received the e-mail. I can't believe I'm the proud father of these *tear*. Can't wait to swathe them in fine linen, straight from the Doctor's hands to mine.

      Come to think of it, I would so rock some Johto League jewelry on my earpieces if i didn't already order them.

    High End CIEM/IEM Thread!

    With Studio V3 Anniversary coming in I'm wondering if I should be trading out my HifiMan 901 with a nearly full set of cards (Balanced, IEM, Minibox), for a set of SE5ways. Will I be missing much until I can afford another high-end DAP?

    JUST want to know how can i buy the Se5way in America?Fan of IEMs

    If you haven't already made your purchase/made an acquaintance in Europe you can use a Mail forwarding service such as https://www.forward2me.com And just send the monitors there. Hope this helps!

    Noble Audio - the Wizard returns!

    Okay so Mrs. Nancy just contacted me that my order has already been received and is ready to be forged in hellfire by the enigmatic hands of the Wizard. I gave what I thought was a truly creative design motif so I'm very excited to see how you guys run with it! It should be something that...

    Noble Audio - the Wizard returns!

    I posted mine to the US' domestic Noble liason in California on Friday Feb. 28th and they were fortunately included with that week's shipments to CN! I was one of the few that splurged on express build time though. I bet from now it'll probably arrive in 3 days time, take a week in production...

    Noble Audio - the Wizard returns!

    Man you're like the Katalyst of my K10 Kravings, your review was so eloquent and moving and after a long look at similarly well written to others, quite viable. Then there's something inside me that's haunting my dreams to let me give the SE5way a chance, I think I'll end up trying out the...

    Noble Audio - the Wizard returns!

    Okay, I really appreciate you taking the time to consider that, and your post answered a lot of concerns! If only there were a way to demo the other two, between them all, I'd be able to identify my preferred sound sign more. But anyways, my appreciation for such a magical product really goes...

    Noble Audio - the Wizard returns!

    Honestly I hope I'm not too far in over my head on the K10s, I had the SM3 v1s a while back and loved those so the closely regarding EM32s might have been the better choice (IN THEORY). I'll surely see when the Kaiser 10's arrive in a few weeks though as I'll have a IEM card fitted HM 901...

    The Fiio X5 Thread

    Haven't received it yet, but its being packaged with the IEM and Minibox cards, might use the Minibox to power the ol' Fidelio X1s and eventually sell it for the Balanced card. As for impedance, the IEM output is 2 ohms, according to the hifiman product page. Like I said though I imagine the...

    The Fiio X5 Thread

    Not having heard the HM901 yet regardless there's still something to be said for scaling with more resolving headpieces and the dynamic sound is a signature that some will prefer over the x5. But again I'm going to hear things for myself once my K10s come in, can't think of a better setup to...

    The Fiio X5 Thread

    "with the exception of the DX100" HM901 is rated over the DX100 by most A/B reviews so I'd say no it doesn't stomp over it. But for those wanting a near ipod/smartphone experience and superior value/price ratio there's no question it's an extremely viable option. Personally I can't wait for my...

    [Review] Noble Audio Kaiser 10 - The Wizard Rises Again

    I may fiddle with the extra cable i ordered along with the standard one but will probably go with a balance term'ed westone 2-pin. Thanks!

    [Review] Noble Audio Kaiser 10 - The Wizard Rises Again

    Is anyone here aware of a balanced cable that is compatible with the Kaiser 10s and could be used for a balanced DAP such as the HM-901? Any help would be greatly appreciated!

    The Fiio X5 Thread

    Late March, early April apparently. In the spirit of that, I've ordered some K10's and they'll be landing well before the X5 (unfortunately) what is a cheap alternative that will drive/source my delicious devil's until i can blow more remarkable amounts of money?

    [Review] Noble Audio Kaiser 10 - The Wizard Rises Again

    Okay, took the plunge into the abyss, so now I assume the procedure is to followup on my impressions (might ask for an extended length in the inner ear canal) and send subsequent impressions by UPS Next Hour mail to Cali? (also thanks to all for the very revealing and useful info!!)
