Wow!!! I didn't expect to see you here, Shikada-san. Welcome!!!!

Please tell me you are joking? :D

  Brannan, when can we have an audition in Hong Kong? :-D

It is usable, but you can feel the cables are there on your ears for the first few minutes, then you dive into the music haven and forget it :-D.   I would definitely not recommend it if you plan to wear it for sport activities. Walking, fine, jogging for example, I don't think so.

  To a certain extends, I agree on you. Cable does have an effect on the signal path but the effect is limited. It is probably around 10% to 15% max for a very good cable. It would be far more easily justify to invest a better amplifier, a better source, or even some high resolution music.  ...

OK. I finally have chance (pardon my laziness) to test the two cables: Comp4 Silver and Elite 22awg Silver. As said before I have both cables adapted for IEM use.    More cableporns first, if you like?   Elite22:   CIEM 2-pin connectors, the R-side has a red ring on it:   The...

    LoL.... I thought many people will have these two, not _just_ me!   I have yet to try the new cable. Since I have both adapted for IEM use, I will probably need to grab a pair of 2-pin sockets so I will not break the holes on my IEM while switching cables back and forth. So, before my...

  Since you have both, if you have to give a score to these two cables (Comp4 and Elite22), what they would be? :-)

I have the Complement4 for IEM using with my Noble Audio K10 for about a month now. I have to say it really upgrade the audio experience to a new level. More wider soundstage, faster response, more details!

Great. I'm still waiting mine. Hopefully it will be the next cable Peter delivers.

  Enjoying my K10 still!!!  @FullCircle Happy Birthday John!!!! 

  Waohhhhh!!!!!  Congratulations!!!!   I wish I can find a pair someday... 

That's a 07? Do you like it?

Very nice photos and impressions guys!

Probably will eclipse the K10 market?

I'm hesitating to see how myself would upgrade from my AK240 (plain vanilla) to this one. Given the price point is probably more than the SS.   Maybe wait until AK385 is released and AK380 price is dropped.

LoL.... I feel this is getting into a cycle.   1. AK announces a product 2. People ranting, rambling, yelling: too pricy! too soon! it's all marketing! I just bought your last model! you thief! 3. AK releases the product, people rush to buy it (maybe some with swollen anger). 4. People say...

Nice! How would you characterise the sound signature? 

Congratulation!!!!!  It is a low impedance model? 

Ah... some kind of woven fibres....maybe. It does look like wood by first glance. :-P

  This is the best full wood design (for me) so far!!!!! 

I don't see why it won't work. When I talk to Shikada-san about my TUR-06, aesthetics is one of the major decision factors when I want to add connectors.

Looking forward to your impression :-D

Whoa, nice! What design you went for?
