[COLOR=141823]After one of the craziest weeks in recent memory, the weekend is finally here and we will raise our glass to that! But first, photos.[/COLOR][COLOR=141823]
[/COLOR][COLOR=141823]
[/COLOR][COLOR=141823]Pictured here is a set of Wizard-designed Kaiser 10 in a beautiful merlot with 24K gold nugget throughout[/COLOR]. The abalone faceplates have been colored to match the shell, however the edges were intentionally left untouched. The result is a border that depending on the light and viewing angle produces a rainbow of colors that serve to contrast the cool red center.


Take it easy this weekend folks, you've earned it!

Beautiful. Could I order this in a different color? This is a must have for me.

Stunning, truly a work of art.

  So, I hate to interrupt the fighting with something more relevant to the topic, but do the universals sound the same as the customs? (presuming you can get a good seal / fit on both)

You can read my brief impressions of the K10U vs. my K10 customs posted earlier in this thread:

I've been taking photos today for upcoming reviews. Here are some shots specifically focussed on the faceplates of my K10s:

Nice!

Australian? Did you buy direct, or from addictedtoaudio?

 

[Loquah]

No. I bought direct from Noble

This is definitely one of the best Wizard designs, ever! A very nice combination of colors and gloss. Good inspiration for my own K10. 

 

Makes you want to try to eat them... Look like candy... Lol

 
Harder than Jawbreakers too, I reckon.

Great impressions, Darin. It'll greatly help a friend who's more interested in the universal K10.

Thanks for the very relevant reply!

Since I'm interested in a variation of the design it wouldn't count as a reprint right? My current understanding is that I would need to choose the Wizard design option and describe what I want. Thanks.

I am not entirely sure but I think I am having some minor channel imbalance issues with my unit (K10U). It's noticeable on some tracks. Can someone tell me how one tells whether there's an imbalance or not? Of course, I am still in the ''burn-in'' stage process, so maybe that has to do anything.

Run a linear sine sweep.
 
While doing so, you should-
Try different insertion depths.
Try different tips.
Try switching the earpieces to opposite ears, if possible.
Try the same on different IEMS.
 
If you're using an iPhone, I recommend AudioSigGen (free).
 
Software that can generate a sine sweep is also available on PC and on Android.
 
You can also find one or generate one on Audiocheck.net
 
Be aware that most IEMs have slight channel matching issues which will sound pretty drastic via a linear sine sweep, but will be practically unnoticeable when listening to music, but you say it's audible in music so....
 
Joker also mentioned recently in response to one of my posts that you can also try converting a couple of tracks to Mono and listening that way for channel imbalances.
 
If its a serious channel imbalance, I sincerely hope Noble will, at the least, look into it. AND if there is an issue, I would expect them to refund you return shipping if it's a manufacturer defect and still under warranty, you know cuz they pride themselves on doing the right thing for their customers, *ahem*.
