Happy new year everyone! Glad to be back for another year on Head-fi.
 
First, I'd like to thank @svyr for posting his review. Please check it out: http://www.head-fi.org/products/noble-audio-savant/reviews/14932
 
Second, I'd like to thank all the participants in the Noble Savant Australia-New Zealand tour. It's been a great experience and will be more than happy to work with you again.
 
Third, a big thank you to the Noble Audio team @FullCircIe and @bangkokkid for allowing us to share the "savant" experience.

Does anyone have any impressions comparing the Savant to any of the 1964 ears lineup? Also where does everyone order these from in the US (universal fit). I'm trying to avoid any import fees. Thanks for the help.

 

[mrazik]

In US is best to order directly from Noble Audio I guess.

 

[Danthrax]

Would they ship the universal out of their CA office or does that still come from Asia?

 

[mrazik]

I got mine from CA.

 

[FullCircle]

We have dealers in Asia

direct universal orders are shipped from the usa

Ok I just ordered a Savant Universal I'm hoping it will be to my liking, it seems like something I would like.

You're in for a pleasant experience. The Savant sound signature is multi-genre friendly. Very musical to my ears.

Make sure to drop by with your impressions when they arrive. All the best.

Heh, a friend 'stole' my K10UA yesterday and yep, the Savant still sounds great!

I find that the Savants are the only "equalizer" I ever need to apply to any of my music. The Savants allow for the very articulate bass to solidly underpin etche free holographic mids. While a detail rich treble can take flight into a naturally spaced wide and deep soundstage.

Just perfect ...

 

[RyuX84]

Hard to compare the savant to the SE846. Will take me a long listening session till they both got a proper cable now

Got my Savants in (which is perfect timing because I sort of killed my IE80). I was taken fairly off-guard by how great these are. I honestly didn't think going from $300-$400 IEMs would be as big of a jump as going from $100 IEMs to the IE80, but honestly these far exceeded my expectations, unfortunately I don't have experience with any other CIEM derived universals in this bracket but based on a lot of reading I remember doing when I decided on the IE80 these seem to fare exceed most of the competition in that regard. Saying these two IEMs are in different leagues is very much an understatement I would have to say the Savant are like MLB and the IE80 are sort of an amateur club softball league where everyone sort of just drinks the whole time. The level of detail at every frequency is far better, the bass extends farther and is more articulate, the sound stage is phenomenal, and separation is far and beyond better. It completely outclasses every aspect of the IE80 making them seem inarticulate and sloppy which they are not, at least they previously didn't seem to be. I think these headphones are the perfect balance of sound for people that enjoy healthy bass but don't want it to overtake or define the headphone, but it's certainly there and it's amazing. I think at $600 these are a steal.w
