    Noble BTS

    I received my Noble BTS several days ago and love it! I can't comment on pairing it with my K10U, as can't do that at the moment. However, here are some bonus PROs about this device:   o Wireless capability to ANY 3.5mm wired headphone, at least from the phone or portable device that has BT...

    Noble Audio - the Wizard returns!

    Awesome, can't wait, like it wasn't obvious or anything! If you ever do have kids, you'll be plenty ready after having to deal with all of us, hehe!     LOL, yeah, I think I've said that a few times myself. Next time I catch myself saying it, I just might have to swap and let my wife drive...

    Noble Audio - the Wizard returns!

    Hey Brannan, here's why some people don't have kids...   Are they here yet? Are they? Are they!     (BF K10Us)

    Noble Audio - the Wizard returns!

    Beautiful family, John! You are very blessed to have a wife that not only supports your dreams, but one that pushes you to do it. You have no idea how much added stress the opposite can induce when starting a business...   My first two were girls and they mean the world to me. Fatherhood is...

    Noble Audio - the Wizard returns!

    I haven't received my K10U yet. I do own the LCD-3. Everyone says the highs are incredible with the K10s. Do you find the highs to be better than the LCD-3? What about the soundstage? I find the soundstage on the LCD-3 to be a bit narrow. I actually prefer my HiFiMan HE-500 over the LCD-3...

    Noble Audio - the Wizard returns!

    Me, too, except that they aren't ready to ship to the customer quite yet. The message I got said they were being shipped to the States for final inspection and then shipping to the customers.   I was told they would be shipped by January of 2015. Looks like they will make the deadline, even if...

    I'm planning on making the meet. However, I will be on call. As long as I don't have to take off, my headphones will remain available.

    Minneapolis Meet July 20th 12PM-5PM @ The Needle Doctor

    Quote: I'm interested in comparing the sound stage difference between the LCD-3 and HD800, as well as general SQ. I'd also like to hear the difference between the HD800 and the HD650. Other than the electrostats, Audez'e, HiFiMan, and Senn seem to be the top players. I'm familiar with...

    Minneapolis Meet July 20th 12PM-5PM @ The Needle Doctor

    I would be interested in this meet, but not sure if date will work quite yet. I don't have much for equipment, but I think there would interest. I'd really like to hear the sound signatures of the Grado and Senn headphones. I'm also interested in hearing the Klipsch X10. I've been interested in...

    Audeze LCD-3 Impressions Thread

    Quote: I'm coming from the HE-500, which had a very velvety, creamy bass that I loved. I was hoping the LCD-3 would take the bass to another level. At first, I was disappointed, as the LCD-3's bass, though technically superior in all ways, lacked that creaminess. It sounded too clinical and...

    The Deals Thread II. (READ THE FIRST POST!)

    Quote: Well, that stinks. But, at least you saved yourself some money! I actually bought the gift certificates around 3 or 4 AM this morning. Instead of waiting for them to answer my questions, I took the risk and bought them while the code was still good, hoping I'd be able to stack them...

    IC: Headphone in Minnesota

    I'm in the Rochester area. Ever come down this way? I usually make it up to the Cities about once a month, but only available in the evenings. I wouldn't mind trying out the Lyr with the HE-500 or the LCD-3. What tubes do you have?   This would also be a good opportunity to compare the...

    Most powerful portable amp

    Quote: LOL, I can just see people's faces as I lug around a car battery in my "portable" setup! I have heard others saying good things about the Lifepo DAC, so that may be of interest. Thanks.

    IC: Headphone in Minnesota

    I still haven't ever been to a meet before, and would be interested in trying it out at least once. I just ordered the Audeze LCD-3, which should arrive tomorrow, to go with my current HiFiMan HE-500. While my interest was to listen to an Audeze headphone, and that no longer will be the case, I...

    Thanks for that feedback. I'm happy to know I can drain my wallet elsewhere...and I just did!

    Audeze LCD-3 Impressions Thread

    Oh, also, another user said they are out of the LCD-3s. However, once you buy the gift cards, they don't expire, so you can use them when they do get back in stock.

    Audeze LCD-3 Impressions Thread

    For those of you interested in making the jump to the LDC3s, I'm passing along something out of the deals thread.   Sound Earphones has a deal that I took advantage of this morning by ordering 4 x $500 gift cards from them. Each gift card is 20% off. Everything took place today. I copied a...

    The Deals Thread II. (READ THE FIRST POST!)

    Quote: You are probably the smarter person, financially speaking.  My reasons for taking the big jump was because I already own the HE-500, which is the LCD-2's counterpart. I was comforted knowing David thinks the LCD-3s were better than the LCD-2s in every way. I'd always have that...

    The Deals Thread II. (READ THE FIRST POST!)

    Quote: The good thing about the gift cards is that you'll lock into that discount and it won't expire. The bad thing about those gift cards is that you may end up spending money you weren't going to! But yes, if you know you want the LCD-3s, I'd go ahead with the gift card. I must have...

    The Deals Thread II. (READ THE FIRST POST!)

    Quote: I ordered 4 x $500 gift cards from Sound Earphones for $1,600. I did this very early in the morning, taking the risk my plan would work out.   I got an email saying the 4 x $500 gift cards were being shipped via USPS. I used their chat to make sure the gift cards could be...

    HiFiman HE-500 (HE as in High End) Proving to be an enjoyable experience in listening.

    Quote: I currently own the HE-500, O2 amp, and the RSA SR-71B amp. Even before I went balanced with the SR-71B, I did a short test comparing the two amps running single ended. I found the O2 amp significantly reduced the bass, especially the velvety feel of that bass. It wasn't necessarily...

    HiFiman HE-500 (HE as in High End) Proving to be an enjoyable experience in listening.

    Quote: jerg, I've had my HE-500s for about a month. I am using the pleather because the velours just feel a bit itchy and not as comfortable to me. It does not have a velvety quality to it at all. I don't enjoy taking the pads on and off, so don't have a lot of listening time with...

    HiFiman HE-500 (HE as in High End) Proving to be an enjoyable experience in listening.

    Quote: I purchased the 6' 8 strand OCC Sunset cable terminated with 4-pin nickle Neutrix XLR from BTG Audio for around $135 with shipping. This cable allowed me to go balanced on my RSA SR-71B amp. I can't say for sure what part did what to vastly improve the sound, but I'm pretty darn...
