No worries

We got a purchase order after posting, so obviously someone liked them.

Truth is, I wanted to keep them for my self as the red color just suits me. I also like the fact that they are 100% wood rather than a combination of materials.

But ultimately I placed them up for sale for the greater good.

My brother finished some bluetooth monitors and he was torn as well, having to give them up for the cause. This hobby is our passion. Hard times are here, but we are fortunate to do what we love.

A thanks to our sales network, team and customers.



To me as soon as I saw it I thought of a beautiful smoking pipe due to the color and grain. Absolutely outstanding. We have some real artists here on the forums- Noble, ZMF, and a lot of other guys doing some amazing work.

Keep the pics coming!

Well, he is a high school student in the Philippines. We'd have to be in the Philippines to "catch" him, and getting an officer over there to care about a US company getting ripped off is just not going to happen.
Just wanted to give an update on the thefts. I sent the kid an email, and he ignored it, and then within an hour or so, his facebook page disappeared and his instagram page went private. I finally got really pissed, and posted on the kid's high school facebook page that the kid had stolen in excess of $10,000 in goods from Noble using stolen credit card numbers. Within an hour, the kid had sent me an email begging to talk. Apparently he was already in trouble at this school for past misdeeds, and this fiasco was going to get him kicked out of school. Within 4 hours of my posting on the facebook page, I was on a video conference call with his teachers as the kid was boxing up all the goods to send them back to us in Texas (the teachers wanted to make sure I could see the goods being put in the box and that the address was correct). We received the goods this morning (see attached photo).

Gotta say, those are some impressive teachers.

Hopefully everything arrived in good working order. He learned that social media is not a one-way street.

Wow. That's wonderful news.

Hurray for education!

It was multiple purchases made with stolen credit card numbers (most likely purchased off the dark web). It was actually pretty sophisticated, considering the kid is just a high school kid. He used different email addresses and names, and had the goods sent to forwarding companies in California and New York, that then forwarded them to his address in the Philippines. He scammed not only us, but also Campfire Audio, Sony, and a number of other retailers.

Dear all. I looking for a warm cable for khan . Vocal alot of sibilant. Any recommendation? Thanks

I wouldn't call the vocals sibilant, but for cables on the warmer side I have had exceptional results with the PW Audio 1960 2-wire cable (very expensive, but great ergonomics and sound), the PlusSound Tri-copper cable and also the 8-wire Noble copper OCC cable. The Noble 8-wire cable has exceptional ergonomics and sound quality for the price, so if that's of concern then I would choose that one.

Yes, we got lucky, and frankly he stole some pretty rare items, including a one-of-a-kind Prestige Khan. It is kind of like stealing the Mona Lisa. It is hard to sell something like that without being noticed...even in the Philippines. It is also a good thing that audiophiles are a fairly tight knit and honest group and alerted us to the attempted sale of some of the goods.

Sounds like you need to hire this guy to run your shipping dept. :D

Sometimes those hacker kids just need a legal outlet for their talents. A brilliant, bored kid is a dangerous thing.
