I can't stress enough how good Ronin is. The best Noble I've ever had. I've all Noble iem in the past, except Kublai Khan & Ragnar. Everything in my music library sounds good with Ronin, everything just sounds right. Because of Ronin, I have parted ways with Rn6 & Fourte Blanc, Ronin is my only iem now, but looking forward to put it against Raven, hopefully in the near future.

They couldn't be more different. Let us know how you feel about the differences please.

Will do it once I get my hands on Raven.

Agreed. I’m getting the Raven as a complimentary IEM, my aim is to use them for different purposes. As an FYI, as I’ve spent about 100+ hrs with the Ronin Prestige I am noticing a slightly warmer lush sound with the wood casing. Marginal but noticeable.

I too am looking forward to your impressions of the differences. I am thinking of Raven as complement to Ronin, only problem being that I love Ronin for literally everything I listen to, so... why? Then again, that's never really deterred from me from buying something new, so... However, I will admit that I am also thinking of releasing my RN6 since the Ronin had entered my life. I love the RN6 but I love Ronin more and keep reaching for it... Hm.. Decisions decisions...

I would like to ask those of you guys, who have already ordered a Noble Prestige:
how long does it usually take from ordering a Noble Prestige universal iem to when it arrives at your place?

Thanks

There are a lot of variable:

A) Where is the block located? (Thailand or USA)

Generally faster if the block is in Thailand

B) CNC failures. It is not uncommon for a cnc job to run into problems.

In Tfenton02 case, we ran into cnc problems, had to select a new block and start again. We also held the IEM for a bit longer for glamor photos. We communicated throughout the process and thankfully he was understanding. 🍻

I know what you mean. I loved the RN6 so much I got the CIEM version. I think I’m a hoarder. They can do a reality TV series after me. The gap RN6 fills for me is soundstage and sub bass impact. I also find it a tad smoother.

Just ordered the Eletech Raphael for the RN6. Heard great things. Hoping this keeps them in the stable.

Congrats for the Prestige Ronin, an iem that personally made for you. Good to know there's a slight difference in the sound signature between standard & prestige Ronin, this makes my wallet happy. To me standard Ronin sound is already perfect, sound wise, I don't want anything to change.

@Xinlisupreme What a nice series of IEMs that you got! But sorry I don't have any one of your gears to compare with Stage 3.
How do Stage 3 sound when they're compared to IE600 that you got there?

My Ronin is for sale in the EU, if anyone is looking for a pair. Ad in the classifieds! :)
Sorry to see you part with them. What a wonderful set.

I promised myself I would end up in a year max with ONE set of IEMs and ONE cable. I made it, but the hard consequence is that I have to give up some of my favorite sets!!!
Good and responsible move!

Next, look up the definition of sellers regret 😎

Oh, and don't leave this thread for the few weeks in between...
