You may get a letter down the road from them... I just did at work, and it's in collections. never received a bill or anything.

Thanks!  I'll be expecting something from them, as Brannan suggested UPS procedure might be.  I was just happy I didn't have to be at home to sign for the package.

I have 2 questions.
 
1) What is your opinion about how good the K10 seal or isolate?
They are my first CIEM (before I only tried Demo's and Universal Models), but I have the feeling e.g. the Shure SE846 provide a better isolation.
 
2) How reliable are the 2 pin connectors of the cable? I have now one cable for balanced operation and one for single end use. Is it fine to exchange the cables frequently, or should I consider to rather buy an adapter for the balanced cable?
 
cheers

1). I would not be surprised if the sure e846 has better isolation. The IEM has a rubber/silicone ear tip, which is dynamic, it can move with the constantly changeling ear canal. You can't ask for a better form of isolation, in fact the research supports that statement




2). The two pin socket is fairly robust, but frequently exchanging cables is not a good idea as that can lead to loose fitting socket

My K10 actually isolates better than my SE846 with the stock olives.  My K10s have very deep canals, though.  However, the SE846 with the Sensaphonics Custom Sleeve isolates even better than the K10s.

  Noble will be attending CAN JAM in Denver, Colorado. (October 10-12)
 
 
On display will be something new and unique. (IE not a hybrid)
 
 
It will be unique, and unexpected, much like a reverse elbow to the face.
 

 
Nice! I can't wait!  I'll be at the show, as will my Wizard-design K10s and my wife's 4Cs.

Not surprised either. Everyone is physically unique, so results are unique to some degree as well. Further more, the custom sleeves are made from silicone, a dynamic material.... Great for isolation

While these customer-designed Kaiser 10 feature Wizard's favorite wood, Buckeye Burl, the blue glow-in-the-dark Noble crowns floating a top what appears to be a teeming surface of another world steal the show.​
 ​
With the lights off, the glow from the crowns shines bright, just barely illuminating what's below much like moonlight shining through to the ocean floor.​

Headfonia review of the K10 is up on their site - Nathan was very impressed and managed to crowbar the word "ejaculate" into his synopsis:

Well done!!! I especially like the canal tips are in blue/red. Very nice!
