My custom K10E's, just 6 weeks old, never been outside & treated with utmost respect.


Best things I've ever heard by miles... but de-laminating.



 


Yep

Looks like a stress point right on the corner there. Definitely need to send those back for repair

That is the nice thing about cnc billet aluminum encore or Katana universals, they can take a beating, and that won't happen. But you can't get fancy woods, glitters, watch parts and such on them.

Contact Brannan, he will help get you sorted asap

Really like this colour.  Intoxicating to view. And alluring in its own way. Kinda like the night blue sky, but with green. I admire the respect of craftsman for their tools. Not to waste any, if they can still serve a purpose. This is the colour of justice, for leftover paint :)


Thanks, and I thank my dad too
A bit belated!

He taught me not to fear work, and encouraged me to go in to audiology.

Hi,
I like the functionality and simplicity of the noble cable. Can anyone recommend any custom cable makers that do functional simple cables that would fit over my ear like the noble cable or better?

im using ares 2+, but you can try forza audioworks maybe? or maybe plussound

Thanks John - if they'd "taken a beating" I'd think fair enough, but like I said, these are effectively new & have been treated with kid gloves. This seems more like a manufacturing issue.

On receipt, I noticed that by unfortunate chance there's an awkward point where the cut end of one of the silver threads was trapped between the junction of the faceplate & the shell, so it hadn't been properly covered by acrylic leaving the tiniest of pinprick holes - you can see it in the pic. It also happens to be at precisely the point at which I lift the earpiece to get it out of my ear, & I think it's that combination that's causing the materials to separate.

I've contacted Brannan as you suggested.

My point is beating or not, our universal flagship won't have any unexpected issues.... Due to the fact they are built like a tank

But the flip side is, no frills can be added

Can anyone tell me more about the Noble Lightning Cable? How does the DAC differ from that in Apple's Lightning to Headphone Adapter?

What about the soon to be released Linum Super Bax? They will be dropping the price from the original thoughts due to the popularity of it.
www.linum.dk I think.

I bought a set of the Bax and the 3.5mm connector broke away after 2-3 weeks.
 
Took it back to the retailer who said they have had so many back and there is a design issue with them.
 
Supposedly the Super Bax corrects all of the issues with the Bax...
