The topic is universals/IEMs....   universals are purchased in bulk by dealers/distributors around the world.

  Or anyone who works at a doctor/vet/dentist office with an x-ray machine?

I may try to examine mine under x-ray on next Monday, but will keep this a little secret between the Wiz and I

Joke time.
 
I never wanted to believe that my Dad was stealing from his job as a road worker. But when I got home, all the signs were there.

Its time to give back to my head-fi cronies. A little PSA, today is free Slurpee day at 7-11.

i agree (but i wanna try savant , at some point)

Well, just like everything else its a personal opinion. If one person likes Audeze and someone else likes Stax, it doesn't make either wrong. I liked the Savant also, the K10 was just my type of IEM. I have always liked a fun sounding set, so probably why it is my choice. I still cant get over how much the 4 blew me away. I do wonder though if I had tried it last instead of first what my opinion would be.

 

[Malevolent]

  That's unfortunate... I tried other tips and they still have a lot of sibilance. I let me friends try it out to be sure it's not just my sensitive ears and they all said it hurt their ears when they listened to it. I think Noble has a 15day return policy albeit with a 20% restock so I may have to go that option if I cannot get used to it sadly

 
Yeah, I too experienced sibilance on the Noble 3 during my auditions with them on separate occasions. It was otherwise a great sounding, fun IEM. If only I could get used to that treble spike.
 
Anyway, are you interested in other Noble IEMs? The Noble 4 may not be your cup of tea, but the Noble 6 is pretty good. Granted, it is a lot more expensive than the 3, but it is a worthy purchase.
 

  I finally pulled the trigger on my K10s and pretty stoked. Chose a reprint option but requested them with the Noble crown on faceplate. 
As many have said before, getting the K10s is the end of the road for me from a CIEM perspective.  
 
I'm glad to finally be joining the Noble family.
 
I chose Noble not only for the awesome sound signature of the K10s but because I believe Noble is customer focused as well.
Setting customer expectations is key to business development and customer satisfaction which Noble seems to fully understand!
 
Now the agony begins until I get my K10s.
 
Salud!

 
Congratulations! Welcome to the Noble family.
 
Yeah, the K10 is impressive, indeed. By chance, what reprint did you order? It's good that new owners have the Lookbook to guide them with their decision; it's a thoroughly useful tool!

Well, granted, some of the IEMs in his possession do certain things better than the K10. Maybe those aspects play a more important role in Jelt's overall assessment?
 
With that said, the K10 still ranks as my favorite overall IEM - it is excellent in many regards, and at the very least, good in others. It is a true genre-neutral IEM, capable of tackling most (if all) types of music, from classic rock to contemporary pop, from EDM to classical. Fantastic! Enjoying every minute with my K10, to be honest.

I thought that was normal for custom Noble products? My name was engraved on my Noble case.

Hahaha. That's a classic, bro. I did LOL.

I got the black & blue wizard reprint and have to agree the "Lookbook" is extremely helpful. I mulled over which designed to get for over 2 weeks. Definitely looking forward to getting them.

I own or have spent lots of time with most of the CIEMs in that comparison. I greatly respect his opinion and appreciate the time taken to write it up. However I have to disagree when he says ".... the sub-bass is really not up to par. Extension and slam in the lowest registers doesn't measure up even to the other Balanced Armature bass driver IEMs. This is a real weakness on the Kaiser 10, and I docked it major points for this. "
 
Huh?!?!?!? That's nowhere near the case with what I hear. Very far from it.

+1. Totally agree with you on both points. Both love all the work being put into the comparisons - very detailed stuff! - but also find the K10's to go very low, especially when driven by good gear. The CDM currently driving my K10's using a balanced cable has some of the best, most controlled bass I've ever heard from a CIEM. However, to each his own and we all hear different things - that's what makes this hobby so interesting. Cheers
