  I rather like the beige and black combination. Beautiful! Enjoy!

Thanks Rip! I had been considering combining the carbon fiber with the dark grey and gold combo for my K10's (which I ordered at CanJam/RMAF) then John released the Wizard-wood and black with a little bit of swirl and the smoke acrylic and gold nugget and I was sold. Then when I found out I could have my initials etched into the face-plate along with with Wizard signature it was done and done. 
 
I have to admit that the waiting has been hard, but now that I've seen pictures the couple of day wait for the express from China is even harder! Now that I've seen my babies, I want to hold them in my hands.

I would love to see The Wizard do something with bismuth... hollowed out to accommodate the innards... and then finished off with crystal instead of acrylic.  Would probably be as heavy as **** but would be amazing!  Bismuth (for those unfamiliar with it:
 



 

 

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
Warren - I knew you were a wild-man, but bismuth? Wow. Lead's next door neighbor and one of the heavier (mostly stable) elements out there. Yeah, I wouldn't worry too much about the radioactivity, but it would be kind of cool to say that they were a bit radioactive ("Has anyone seen my CIEMs? No? Where's my Geiger counter...").
 
By far the greatest pragmatic limitation would be how brittle it is in its pure form (like the crystals you show here). Alloyed into metal it is much more workable, but not nearly as cool looking. (Yes, I am a ChemEng by training) Don't think John could work it with his CNC and other toys, even with his Wizard status. Still, it's cool to dream! 
 
Maybe instead you could have a pair made that are bright pink in honor of the way most people interact with bismuth!

Also, are these the first set I've seen with the Wizard's signature on the left ear piece?

Great catch! Hadn't even noticed. I think I'm not the first, as looking through the Noble Instagram feed there's a pair on 9/10/14 that also appear to be on the left face-plate. Thanks

Mohs is 2.25, Brinell is 94.2 MPa.  It's pretty dense stuff as well.  And it's also fairly diamagnetic.  But now that I think about it, the greatest challenge might be overcoming the slight radioactivity.  Oh well, one can dream... 

Look on the bright side - if a large tumor crops up, you could carve it a bit and turn it into a cable wrap - or hollow it out and store extra tips inside.

LOL!
 
Love the humor. Well played sir.

  I like shiny things.  Hey, I have an idea... is there any way to create some kind of mold to control crystal formation?

Lol, I was wondering when someone would bring that up!

If anyone is interested, I did an extensive comparison of the K10 to the Legend R.

Great review and info, thanks!

Nice comparisons, jelt - thank you!!

No problem. Hope it was useful for you, in case you are considering it any of the phones there

I'm not at the moment, but it certainly makes me feel great about owning both the SE846 and K10!!

What is the Diffrence Beetween Regualr K10 that cost 1600$ and the prestige series that cost 2600-2800$ except the matarial? is it really justify this price increase in ratio on SQ?

 

[DrSheep]

Should be just materials and same SQ.

It just validates how deep your pockets is.
