Yes. I was going to ask him if he could do straights.

Would these connectors from Forza Audio Works fit in the Noble IEMs?       http://forzaaudioworks.com/en/product.php?id_product=44

I'm trying to decide between the K10 and the 8C for my next IEM and my first CIEM.  I'm a bit of a bass head.  I like to put large subs in my cars/house so that when the movies or music calls for it, the lower end is there with power and authority.  I currently own a few IEMs: Heir 3.AI, Westone...

So...who's going to be the first to open up their Noble 3, 4, 5,  or 6's? Are the tiny torx screws vestigial or do they actually serve a purpose?

Got my package today. Color me impressed. The packaging was great. It came sealed with silica gel packages in a ziplock bag. It came with a serial number card. It looks great. Sounds great. I wonder what it's like for Matthew to read all this praise about his work.

I really enjoy Breaking Benjamin and their music. Now that they are gone and I own all their albums, I have been searching for other bands that have similar qualities. I've heard several bands that others have suggested elsewhere, but ice yet to find another band I like as much. Can you...

Got this bad boy on the way to my house.    

Just ordered a 30 pin to 3.5mm Claire silver 5cm LOD cable. It's pictures are beautiful. Hopefully it performs as well as it looks. I don't really buy into the cable hype that you can hear a difference between a good and a really good cable, but it looks awesome and I want it.

That low profile dual lock worked great. Thanks for the suggestion.

I find the rendition 1 to be very portable. Plus the battery life is amazing. I'm going on 7 days of listening a few hours a day now and haven't had to recharge.

Perfect. Thanks.

So I'm thinking good low profile Velcro stuck to the back of a hard case.

I'm looking for an elegant solution to strap my iPod touch to my headphone amp for portability.  With my classic ipod, i could use the heir audio rubber band and strap it across the center of the device to my rendition 1 amp.  I was thinking maybe velcro on the back of the iPod, but I wanted to...

Thank you for the encouragement. I'll keep listening. I have been listening with my 3.ai's and ordered the amp along with a pair of 5.0 premium package which have not yet arrived. It's been 3 weeks since I placed the order so I should be hearing soon.

Quote: Then clearly I'm not a qualified reviewer of my rendition 1.  I'll have to defer to the experts as to whether or not it's a quality amp.  I love it; especially compared to my Fiio E7.  The E7 muddies the mids and high's and bloats the bass compared to the rendition which is just...

Quote: Yes. Is this wrong?  I always thought that an amp is just that..an amp.  I don't know about Head-Fi, but with car audio, amps should not color the music at all.

Wouldn't you want an amp that doesn't add or take away anything from the source, other than boosting the signal? Seems to me that an amp that changes the sound is not an amp, but an equalizer. With the rendition 1 you get a boosted signal with no coloring. That's what I like about it.

I just ordered a pair of heir 5.0s with the Magnus cable so I can test it out with the cable from my 3.ai.

I believe super expensive cables are a placebo.  They do look super cool though.

I've decided to return my w3 and ue900s for a set of heir 5.0s.

Sometimes my baseline becomes distorted when I've immersed myself too deeply into a project and I forget where I was when I started. This has happened again during this exercise. I just put my old sony IEMs in (the ones I've been listening to before I began this journey to find the perfect...

Bummer.  I do love the sound signature provided by my Beyerdynamic 990 600ohm headphones.  If I could get that in an IEM, I'd be ok.  By the way...thanks for the input.  I'm going to continue the search.  Maybe the Heir 3.AIs will wow me.

How is the low end on the W4s compared to the W3s?  Although the 3s are better at low end than the 900s, they are still not enough for me.

I've been reading that the Westone W4 also lacks in the bass dept.  No?

I've been searching for the perfect IEMs for a long time.  I currently own a pair of UE 900s that are superb but for the fact that they have a very subdued low end.  I am a bit of a bass head but I also love the clarity of the 900s.  I also recently tried out the Bowers & Wilkins C5s which, to...
