Noble Audio - the Wizard returns!

That sucks. Sorry to hear.

It's weird. I've only ever used third-party cables. And a wide variety of them. My Encore and Sage never had socked issues. But they are a few years old now. Maybe Noble is using new materials that aren't up to the task.

 

I second Wata's opinion. The new hybrid is something special. Just wait for it.

 

Price range? Work with phone?

 

Sounds like bull crap statement from them.
Cheat them with customer's cost.
Half value to fix?
Why don't they just go ahead and rob the customers instead.

 

I wasn't told about its price range, but its not a flagship, so it will sit below the Khan in Noble's lineup. It sounds really good, though. Certainly something worth keeping an eye out for.

I tried it with a variety of players, a Hiby R3, R6 Pro and a Hugo 2. Didn't have any issues driving them. Hopefully, your phone won't run into any problems.

 

Under $1000, but nothing has been set in stone.

 

Dropping IEMs onto the floor is the audiophile equivalent of the screen on your new Galaxy Fold breaking in 2. Or something like that.

 

Yes, I did that once.
Dropped my K10C on wood floor, broke partial face plate. Super glued back on.
Dropped again inside a water bowl. Bass is no longer heard anymore. Put into art museum now or hear one good side only sometimes during work.

 

I already have the Khan so I am all set for now. I am focusing on getting my desktop solution set and my 2 channel.

 

I dont think service was refused, just an alternative option was offered, an option that would yield faster results.

But if folks would rather wait then that's fine as well. Unfortunately it is an expensive process (shipping) and the shipping time also impacts turn around time. Bummer

 

You certainly have my attention

Unfortunately I can't PM you due to your privacy settings.

That being said can you offer the SN# of your Khans so I can do some research.

Or PM me if you would like, as always we would like to resolve issues as quickly and efficiently as possible.

 

Well, the sound is a bit different from the Khan's - I demoed the both of them together during the recent Singapore CanJam, so I can appreciate the differences the new hybrid brings to the table. The Khan is the all-conquering champ in terms of resolution. The new IEM, on the other hand, is probably Noble's take on a consumer-friendly hybrid tuning.

 

I use the Solaris when I want a different sound signature. I am tapped out for a while on audio spending. Maybe a balanced cable for the diana phi and that is it.

 

Joy built another set

 

By the shape, those look like the new hybrid.
