    Low end. Cheap. Generic. Otherwise bang for buck cable thread!

    So my new Nicehck cable just arrived yesterday and I'm afraid that the 2 pin connectors are .75mm instead of .78mm because they are really loose. Anyone know if there is anything I can do to help keep them connected to my ciems?

    Low end. Cheap. Generic. Otherwise bang for buck cable thread!

    I have a pair of Heir Audio A4's. They are getting up in age but still work well. The original wire is having some issues though as the left one cuts out periodically. I think it getting snagged on my desk chair's armrest so often has taken its toll. I know it is the cable because I switched...

    Low end. Cheap. Generic. Otherwise bang for buck cable thread!

    Are you doing the assembling/build or are you having them do it for you? When I get a free moment, I plan on ordering a new cable and want to do a custom length but don't have the tools or expertise to build it myself. Curious how much they chare for the assembling.

    Low end. Cheap. Generic. Otherwise bang for buck cable thread!

    I've notced that all of the cables linked on this thread and I've looked at on AliExpress and Amazon are 1.2 meters in length. Is there a simple way of getting a shorter version of the same cables? I want to run my ciems through a bluetooth dongle, so my cable will stop catching on my office...

    Low end. Cheap. Generic. Otherwise bang for buck cable thread!

    I've noticed that everyone seems to be purchasing their cables on aliexpress but it seems that some of the same cables are also on Amazon. Being from the states and having a Prime membership, is there a reason not to order from Amazon? Or the cables just similar looking but not the same quality?

    Low end. Cheap. Generic. Otherwise bang for buck cable thread!

    So I've been checking out a lot of the cables in this thread and am wondering how to figure out the lengths on the aliexpress cables? Not sure I want to go through the headache of custom building one but also am looking for a short cable because I am going to pair it with a bluetooth dongle...

    I have a pair of Heir Audio 4A's and the cable keeps getting caught on my office chair so I'm thinking about getting a bluetooth dongle so I don't have to plug them into my computer. Anyone have an suggestions on reasonable priced and short two pin cables?

    Noble Audio - the Wizard returns!

    Totally random question but has anyone else noticed a odd sound in the recording of One Republic's Counting Stars?  It is a weird twerp type sound that isn't very loud and is about ever 5-6 seconds during the chorus.  For the longest time I was scared that there was something wrong with my 4A's...

    Noble Audio - the Wizard returns!

    I get that the prestige is expensive for a reason.  I have no idea how they make them but they are very impressive.  The challenge is that for this particular model (Savant) there is a really big difference in price between the universal and the prestige.  Most (all?) of the other models come...

    I wasted sooooo many hours playing that game in college!!  I may have to see if I can get an updated version so I can waste more hours.

    Noble Audio - the Wizard returns!

    Yeah, I was disappointed to hear that the Savant can only comes in custom in the prestige styles.  I mean the prestige styles are crazy cool but it triples to quadruples the price instead of the normal custom which only adds 50-100% depending on your design.  I currently have a pair of 4.As and...

    Noble Audio - the Wizard returns!

    Is the Savant eventually going to be offered as a non-prestige custom? And how many drivers is the Savant, I don't see that listed in the description?

    Noble Audio - the Wizard returns!

    I like a nice clean neutral/natural sound.  If it's in the recording, I want hear it but I don't want a lot (really any) coloring of the sound or added effects.  I like to feel like I'm in the studio.

    Noble Audio - the Wizard returns!

    I'm sorry but I don't understand how your response applies to my question.  You made a product (the A6) at your old company that was highly regarded and matched my interest.  I'm wondering if the product that your new company makes (the 6C) is similar.  I kind of like to know a little...

    Noble Audio - the Wizard returns!

    So I haven't been around in a while since I have been blissfully listening to my Heir A4's but did take note a while back of the new Noble line by the Wizard.  While I was excited so see him back in the business, I was disappointed that there wasn't an A6 equivalent. When I was ordering my A4's...

    Alclair Reference Master Custom IEM Review

    I'm actually very tempted to but it's going to take some convincing of myself to spend another $700 on ciems when the 4A's are sitting in my ears as I type!

    Alclair RSM Quad Custom In-Ear Monitor Impressions Thread [ These are REALLY worth checking out ]

    I posted this in the Reference Master Custom thread but thought I would re-post here to up the chances of finding an answer.   So I just got back from vacation and discovered on the return flight that my Heir Audio 4A's disappeared at some point during the trip.  I'm truly bummed and have...

    Alclair Reference Master Custom IEM Review

    So I just got back from vacation and discovered on the return flight that my Heir Audio 4A's disappeared at some point during the trip.  I'm truly bummed and have just about exhausted all avenues of finding them so now have the task of deciding how to replace them.  I absolutely loved the 4A's...

    The Wizard Appreciation Thread - Long Live the Wizard - The former HA Appreciation Thread

    Quote: Thanks.  It sounds like the best thing to do is to buy the CD's.  I kind of stopped buying them a while ago because they take up so much more space and I usually listen to music on my laptop or portable player but it does seem to be the most versatile way to go.

    The Wizard Appreciation Thread - Long Live the Wizard - The former HA Appreciation Thread

    Quote: I guess I could have been more clear.  I understand that a better source = better sound and that FLAC files > than MP3.  My question was more, do you need a significantly better source in order to get value out of the FLAC files over the MP3's.
