Yup all factors remain the same only that noble simply changed the store that carry their brand recently. Just wanna see if there is any singaporean felt this way too

We make sure our demo units have at least 200 hours of burn in before customers try them.

Hi

is it a requirement for demo units to be burnt in before letting customers try? Went over to Stereo to demo Noble 4 and it sounded differently from the time i listen at music sanctuary

Thanks, we will look into that

  Not to take from the strippers and all, I'll be joining the Noble fam soon!
I'll be getting the 4s in about 2 weeks time, and can't wait to try them.
I hope they are same signature as the HD800s as it seems to be from the many reviews and impressions I've read.
Anyway, just thought I'd share. I'm super excited and can't wait to try them 

 

 
Congratulations! Welcome to the Noble club! We'll take good care of ya!

Yup you guys are very professional unlike stereo who hire people that don't seem interested.

Thanks, we will look into that

Thanks wiz!

Will be visiting Stereo soon to try their suite of Noble IEMs. Will chime in with my impressions then. I actually visited Vivocity the other day with my wife, but I couldn't actually locate the darn store.

looked into the situation. From the information I got, there is no reason to believe anything is amiss. New units were sent directly from California to Stereo, and not transfered from our former dealer in Singapore.

The concept that one dealer "burns in iems for 200 hrs" isn't relative to professionalism, as there is ZERO empiracal data that shows burn in is required, or has any impact positively or negatively.

I have one dealer that blows holly smoke on their IEMs, one hires a shaman and blesses them via a special dance, one burns them in for 400hrs, and another dealer has a strange ritual, where he takes a new box of IEMs, and records their serial numbers into their inventory list and places them horizontally on a shelf with the Noble logo faceing up he seems to be doing just fine.

I'm actually against burnin. I placed mine in the oven on 300 degrees for 2 hours once, and they sounded like crud afterwards. No joke. It really didn't help the sound, despite what everyone likes to say.

It should make them sound warmer.

Haha, you actually put yours in the oven. I'm sorry but that sounds a bit ridiculous to me. On the other hand, if burn in using regular electrical run time is used, I'm sure there'll be an improvement, despite what many naysayers say.
I experienced quite an improvement, for instance, when I'd used my X5 for about 50 to 100 hours, including smoother, less irritating highs and also an increase in air and clarity in the midrange, although the X5 never sounded bad. It just improved noticeably.
However, I've not noticed any change in my K10 but that ciem always sounds great except of course when using inferior source material or playing subpar recordings.

 

[Dexter Morgan]

Wait a minute... Dr. Moulton, did you in fact confirm that the dealer did not place the K10s in an oven? That could explain things...
