New Noble Universals

Epic. But I understand the impulse to ask, FWIW. Wish I had access to what folks in the States do (as easily as they do), I'd be able to eliminate critical variables at little cost.

Hot damn! 20% off this Friday for the b-day sale! I was only expecting 15%

 

Nice!

 

Birthday Sale is live,

 

Bought a Savanna at 6am this morning. Now I have to wait a month probably for it to show up.

 

Debating for savannah customs on sale. Stuck between this and the Andromeda )aware different price points)

 

I had the K10 and the Dulce in my cart about an hour ago... I didn't do it. I really don't need another set of IEMS, I have too many now, and too many I don't touch at all. I still want to buy new ones. I hate this hobby at times!!

 

Do it! Join us!

It only takes a little taste...

 

Lol. A friend from head-fi is getting the Dulce, he is more than likely going to sell it. I'm first in line. That only leaves the K10 now. I want to hear it, I know it does everything the 8s do and better, minus the bass. I need to see what the damn hype. Is about though.

 

I snagged a N6 recently that is really working nicely. So much so, that I passed on the birthday sale and ordered the Fiio X7.

 

I love my X7. What amp module did you order? For anything other than easy to drive IEMS, the am1 f'ing blows. Just an FYI.

 

I just received it with the am1 module. I tried the name your price with sonic electronix and got a pretty good deal. I like it so far with the noble n6, nuforce hem4 and 400S.

 

After years of fighting it, I'm ordering the Noble K10ua. We shall see if it lives up to the hype. I'm hoping it is similar to the 8's, which I loved but better.

 

While I haven't heard the K10ua, I have heard the K10U and I also have K10 customs and Heir 8A's. The K10's are significantly better in every way. I thought my 8's were good, but once I got the K10's, I never listened to the 8's again. There's no point. You won't be disappointed with your purchase if you like the 8's.

 

That's what I figured. I was just a little concerned about the drop in bass, being a basshead and all. Good thing is, nearly every iem I own is at least heavy bass, so maybe a little change will do me good.

 

That's totally fair. I think I want the K10 signature for my portable setup, but I'm still a bit unsure (I do really like the neutral/bright/holographic signature of the hd800 in my home setup).
I've heard that the tenores are a good cheap counterpart for the andromedas - any recommendations for a similar cheap counterpart for the K10?

 

I'm impatiently waiting for my K10s... Been 3 years since I first discovered them, and have debated that purchase more than any other audio purchase ever. I really hope I love them...if not, I will try to sell them here first, for a nice discount (on top of the 20%). Or possibly a trade.

If anyone is interested, let me know. I'm probably going to sell them, unless I absolutely love them. I just have too many IEMS to listen to. I just sold a pair of brushed knicker asg g2.5. Might dump some more IEMS. Then add some new ones... Yet again.

 

Come on man, you haven't even got them yet! Stop being so pessimistic lol. I'm sure you're going to love them. Even if they turn out to be too bass-light or bright for your tastes, they'd be a good IEM to have around for some variation in signature. But... I guess if you end up ripping them out of your ears and panning them, they'd be an easy sell (especially if you'd be generous enough to discount them on top of the 20%).

I'm also having some second thoughts about the Savanna. I'm constantly worrying about the new tuning. They may be too dark to like, or they'll still have a hot treble that reveals too much sharpness in my cruddy music... but i won't know for sure until I hear them. I'm still super anxious to hear them tho

 

I guess you really couldn't go wrong with any mid-fi IEM with a neutral-ish/flat signature to compliment the more colorful K10. I heard somebody on head-fi say the Savanna was very close to Andromeda's FR when they listened to the two, but the Savanna just couldn't match the technical capabilities of the Andro. Might be worth to check out if you don't mind spending $500 for a sidekick IEM.

@Pyotr I hear you bro. I bought it for a few reasons.

First, I love the old Heir Audio 8.0. Figured the K10 must be good for me.

Secondly, I really wanted to hear the hype. Noble has to be the most hyped product I've ever seen. I need to know if it's really that good.

Thirdly I really wanted a slightly different sound signature.

Lastly, I figured it would be no risk, especially with the 20% discount. Easy sale.

I hope I love it, I really do.
