Hardly, Noble is stepping up for the manufacturer issue, just like most do, but that doesn't make it Nobles fault that the part failed, broke etc.

I think it's time to give up @animalsrush

Getting back to the Khan. I am listening to Live in Tokyo by Larry Carlton and Robben Ford out of my hugo2 with the mscaler with the khan and it sounds incredible. The bass is just so visceral but not bloated or overstated and the guitars sound incredible. If you have tidal this album is definitely worth a listen if you like great guitar playing and well recorded music. I was actually turned on to this by Peter from Magico burnable from this album is one of his demo tracks. I was able to hear it on a pair of Magico M6 with two Q-sub18s and did it sound magical the khan is able to capture most of that magic at less than1/200th of the cost. I would say that is a bargain.

I dont imagine beating the same drum over over again helps matters.

One of the steps we are taking is recessing the socket deeper with any luck may decrease the use of second hand cables. These "will it fit" experiments are taking a toll for sure.

I have had a Khan for 6 months without any problems, or at least until it was stolen. (Loaned it to a cable manufacturer which then subsequently "loaned" it to someone else)

It was the first to ever be built no serial numbers no signatures etc.

I have another one today.... everything works fine.... then again I'm not much for cable swaping.

Hey, I don’t really think I’ve been beating the same drum over and over again. I posted a question about the issue, and @Watagump said that there are socket changes in the works, which seems like a perfectly reasonable and commendable response to me.

I’m just mostly responding to questions asking for images, etc., and responding to the idea that the consumers are to blame. If someone isn’t changing cables and yet the 2-pin connector/socket does that, I would hazard a guess and say that it’s not user error.

Overly defensive responses prompt further questions/concerns - who knew?

I am glad you posted those pictures, I didn't get to see what has happened to the sockets. I forgot who said melted, but that's not inaccurate for describing what it looks like.

Yep

For me

The bass is addictive....

Which is why I'm going to pull out my khans

And get some more time on them.

When you say bass, do you mean say it like base? Your brother says it like bass as in the fish.

Yes I pronounce bass with strong "A" like flying "ace."

First base, second base etc

I know, I gave him a hard time about it at Axpona, on the flip side I kept calling him John when his name is Jim.

Just 2 days off this forum, and we've got pages talking about failed sockets. For what it's worth, I have 3 Noble IEMs with detachable cables, and the sockets in these units aren't tight at all. I like snug fits without having to exert greater than usual strength to either remove or push the pins into the socket.

In fact, my original custom K10 was a little too loose for my liking, but that wasn't really an issue, since I don't swap cables so often.

It is a little disconcerting to hear that the earlier batch of Khans may have socket issues, but I applaud Noble for taking action on it.

I'm still stuck with my Kaiser Encore.... Until the Khan gets here, if course.

me too

Love my encore

Noble is not the ones who are at fault in the socket issues, its other companies involved in making the sockets.

I completely disagree. None of my other IEM’s have this issue and we both discussed it at CanJam. 64 Audio, for example, does not have this issue of sockets that are too tight for example. With my Encore I am just leaving the noble cable attached so I do not have a problem. For some reason, the sockets in your custom are larger. Tks.

When you wanted me to put your aftermarket cable on and I said I didn't feel comfortable doing it, which set was it, the Khan or Encore? I know I sent you to the Effect Audio booth to do it.
