    Noble Audio - the Wizard returns!

    Hi, I am also considering a Wizard Sultan, upgrading from my WIzard Encore :). I see on the website that there are a few Wizard Sultan designs (1.1, 1.2,...). Are these in stock and ready to be shipped? Can I choose any other design from the lookbook (to match my Encore)? What is the normal...

    Exactly the one I had. :)

    They are very different IEMs. You'll love them both.

    Yes I can use it with Solaris, but i don't like the hiss. I prefer using r2r2k with higher impedance iems.

    Exactly. I broke my encore because the cable pin damaged the socket. I am not even a cable believer. Noble IEMs are not made for cable nonsense.

    Noble Audio - the Wizard returns!

    I can do the test once I get my Encore repaired. I love Dita Oslo Cable. It is the smoothest cable I've ever tried (I do not believe in cables at all before I tried it). I definitely prefer using it with Khan than the stock cable as Khan sounds a bit on the thin side. I can't say that for...

    Lol, can't help it but it's exactly the same reason I got the EE LGX. I dropped my K10e and sent it for repair. It takes weeks so I go out and mean to "try" some new stuff. You know, it's difficult to only "try"...

    Noble Audio - the Wizard returns!

    That could be the reason, but i haven’t encountered any broken demo units of another brand. Of course, if there are any, they usually are quickly swapped. However, Khan is still very new and short of supply, could wait a little longer. I was sure they were not talking about noise. They used...

    Noble Audio - the Wizard returns!

    RAI Penta was out of stock in Hong Kong for some time so I’ve only got to try it today. I can understand why someone might prefer it to the Khan. It’s less cynical than Khan, less detailed but still very musical. One sad news is that the Khan demo in the store is dead. The person listened...

    HIFIMAN Releases New Flagship DAP "R2R2000"

    It's already summer here in Hong Kong. I no longer use R2R2k during my commute. I switched to ES100 which is pretty awesome too. R2R2K is now for weekend tours when I take my sling bag with me. Also I don't use the Solaris with R2R2K. The hiss...

    Noble Audio - the Wizard returns!

    I'm going to stay away from these audio shows. Pulled my trigger twice on PAF. Once for the Khan, for that airness, pure clarity, that precision. Once for the Legend X, for its passion, its containment and deep emotions. I need another pair of ears…

    I don’t have enough experience with either the standard X or the SE. The wires inside SE are from Effect Audio. Some comments say the mids and highs are brought closer while the lows are tighter. I couldn’t tell the difference at the show, so I got the standard X. If there’s a difference, it...

    I tested the Hong Kong limited Legend X SE today at PAF and almost pulled the trigger. And now there’s some thing new coming? Crazy world!
