This is the new chassis Hugo. The bottom base length is longer than the top base of the Micro USB port. When I mean "came off" I literally mean, as I was pulling my USB cable out of the port, it broke off (I didn't use a lot of strength to simply just break it off). Currently using...

Whelp, the USB port on my Chord Hugo came off today, which is quite unfortunate because I use it as a desktop AMP/DAC and not a portable one. I'm wondering if there is a way to fix it through a local audio dealer, or if you have to send it back to the manufacturer company (although I bought...

Hey Noble Wizard owners!   I just received my Custom Nobles K10 and this is probably a very noobish question but am I suppose to use ear tips when I wear them? Or do Custom IEM in generally not opt ear-tips?   Also, here's what mine looks like. Sky Blue acrylic shells with Silver nuggets to...

Big package came in today. So beautiful...Thank you Frank from completing my audio journey, this was worth the wait.   Anyone else that are waiting for orders, Frank is a terrific guy. I've made so many modifications to my order and he nailed them all in the end.   Here is what I have, from...

Have all the pre-June 2014 orders been mailed out yet? Cause I want mine so bad already!

People should stop ordering so I can get my made already! :)

Frank, check messages!

Wb Frank! Glad you had a great vacation. Friendly reminder to check my order, I made an adjustment to it. Take your time though!

I think I'll change my order to the BW instead! I was thinking the Virus because it would be something new but what the heck! why try to fix something that isn't broken right?! My rig is a bit on the warmer side too so I think a BW for my CIEM would be a good match. Thanks guys!

drool, how do they compare each other?

  If you can give us a comparison bettween the SW, Virus, and BW for your IEM, that would be helpful! I was thinking of getting a Virus until I read this.

What's the best toxic Synergy for the CIEM Noble K10? PS, looking at all these photos is making me randy, keep posting!

I didnt go for the LCD-X because it was less comfortable than the k812. The way I decided is that if I couldn't wear a headphone for more than 4 hours then it isn't worth keeping. Also drive the k812 with the Hugo and it sounds extremely musical to my ears. Love the sound of cymbals now!

Worst thing about getting a brand new hp is burning them in again. I think I'm at about 50 hours in now

maybe, i place mine in a slappa that keeps it somewhat tightly shut this time around instead of hanging it on my wall. Only time will tell

2.5 weeks + 1 day. I had called on the 10th day though when I knew they had received it 2 days later after shipping to them

strange, i sent my first pair to the same location. Called them once after 2 weeks and spoke to a guy name hector hernandez and he gave me a very short update on my hp. Try calling early in the morning like right when they open (I believe they open calls at 8am or 9am) were the both times I...

rest assured Beniamin that that plastic thing seems to be from a different source. Here is a photo: However, if you notice in this picture: There is a white rubber glue that is placed between the screw and the metal wire. I think that holds the metal wire and screw together but I could be...

Very sorry to hear that macbob, now I'm very cautious about putting my k812 on my head everytime, especially to try and readjust them. For my 1st pair when I sent it in for repairs, it took about 3 weeks for them deliver a new one to me. I had to call them to ask for an update though. Now I'm...

posting a picture for my setup at home:

Wa7tp getting REALLY hot after 3 hrs of listening with the sylvania jan 5814A, anyone experience this? If feels like it's 90 degrees celsius although it's probably somewhere betwee 75 and 85

Bassheads don't need expensive equipment to get what you want. Most, if not, all Beats headphones are pretty heavy in the bass that it over shadows everything else. Could get the studios Beats and pair it with nothing. They have a heavy bass and a muddy mid-hi signature right off any phones. I...

Mine arrive yesterday and there was an immediate difference with the hd800 paired up with the jds lab ODAC. Crispier, better bass and mid low, mid high and treble sparkles. No harsh brightness whatsoever. Separation is a ton better too. the wa7tp is a must have pairing. Very satisfied. i...

chord hugo is the best portable preamp ive ever heard

Finally got my k812 back from the repair shop. Remember the one that had the loose small screw on the right ear driver? Well, instead of akg repairing it, they gave me a brand new k812, very nice of them! Man I've missed this sound signature. I've been listening to the hd800 the last 3 weeks...
