Question for Brannan or Dr. Moulton, 

Any chance you guys would be willing to make a longer 5-6ft cable available in your store?
It would definitely help with the at home listening, and I'd prefer to buy in house vs 3rd party. Please let me know! 

Thank you! 

sorry we can't,, as we buy cable from a large scale mfg. (they won't fill one off orders) Try consulting with a hand made boutique cable mfg, like Wagnus Cables etc etc.

  I did recently with my K10U some direct comparison between ZX2, ZX1, AK100II and AK120II and I preferred by a large margin the AK players sound with the K10, especially the AK120II. The pairing is just incredibly beautifull. There is a coherency with the AK players that the sony players don't reach. AK100II vs AK120II, the 120 felt slightly more balanced and resolving, the 100 felt slightly warmer and slightly less resolving, both were outstanding and better than the more clinical sony ZX2 and the more V shaped sony ZX1.

Glad I bought the AK 120II.  Now I just need the K10U's!

I've had the K10U on order with a local dealer for some time now. These things must be shipping very slowly. It seems they are very difficult to get and impossible to find in stock.

Few weeks ago I posted here that I found the store with immediate k10u stock (the retail shop of the HK dealer). Recently I found that they are all gone. I am sure you cannot find immediate k10u stock anywhere in the world at the moment.

My question went more to the lack of production. Is there a reason for this lack of supply? Demand alone would not be enough since they are available nowhere. This looks more like a problem with manufacture/production. Noble has been silent on this.

John just posted about this a few days ago.  Said it is high demand.

Congrats Noble!  High demand is a good problem to have!  I am not surprised.  I am just glad I got mine before the hordes come running and completely overwhelm the system.
 
Thanks again for outstanding customer service and a fine IEM!

At least I'll get to hear them at SoCal Can Jam!
 
But what happens if I love them...can't live without them...must have them?  The waiting will kill me!

A low supply relative to demand is one thing but no supply world wide suggests a different kind of problem.

My dealer tells me it's character building!
Noble. Not just a brand name. An aspiration for mankind!

I think its in Noble dealer's instruction! My dealer tell me the same.
 
Referring to lack of K10U supply. They are relatively new company in the world of hi-fi so its natural that this would happen. I was told by my dealer (not sure of accuracy) that they are expanding their workforce. Whether they will strive forward will be their ability to expand in all aspect like production, management, quality control, logistics, etc which will require more than passion, something they have in abundance at the moment. I think we all want to see them grow and continue to produce excellent sounds for long time. I'm also sure that both Brennan and Dr. Mounton see the frustration from all of us as being passionate for their product and continue to give good service.
 
Until then, I'll continue building my character waiting for my K10 wizard reprint!

There's also just been chinese new year which would of thrown a slight spanner in the works as well.

 

[Rmoser]

Ah! A conspiracy theory! Let's see... Ok, yeah, the Venusians sent a cargo saucer to earth and picked up every remaining 10u for gifts in their annual fertility holiday. Yup, that's it.

Folks.....
 
A simple observation
 
 
The K10 CIEM can really only be ordered individually, so distributor/dealer demand really has little impact on the availability of the CIEM K10. 
 
 
 
On the other hand, the K10 Universal can be ordered by bulk quantities.......  thus, dealer/distributor demand can make an impact, on availabilty
