Linsoul KZ ZS10 Pro upgrade
call me crazy, but I own JH audio JH13's and the very expensive noble audio Kaiser10 custom fit iems. and wow, I am impressed by the zs10 pro. i initially only bought it for something to fly with because I didn't want to risk damaging my much more expensive iems. the clarity and openness is...- chengsta

Noble Audio - the Wizard returns!
After I got a Kaiser Encore ciem last year, I told myself I would never visit this forum or the noble site ever again (to save my wallet). However, curiosity finally got the better of me and here we are, with a khan that could go CIEM. Please convince me not to buy it!- chengsta

THE best female vocals? (your favorite female singers)
this is a demo from a year ago, but the full version got released a few months ago. I am totally in love with Rigel Theatre. Honestly I don't know what they're saying, but that makes it better because I can fantasize. Also I believe that the voice can be an instrument in itself. -
Noble Audio - the Wizard returns!
Thank god the Khans do not have a custom option. Otherwise I'd be out another $2700 (estimated cost of custom). I'll just stick to my encores which sound fantastic. On another note, funny story: I got myself a balanced 8core pure silver cable a year ago when I got the encore. My...- chengsta

JDS Labs C5/C5D (pg96) portable amp/amp+DAC
I've had a c5 for a long time. Still going strong even today. It's powerful as hell compared to my older fiio E11. Also it's got the best damn bass-boost I've ever heard. I've never heard any hiss from it with my jh16 or kaiser encores, and the encores are really sensitive. If you're...- chengsta

THE best female vocals? (your favorite female singers)
strange how your tastes change when you grow up. I started off with rap as my favourite, then techno/trance, then rock/metal became my fav while I was in the navy. Now as I get older, I'm really starting to love folk music, and especially the accordian *gasp* when done right. But no matter... -
Reply to review by 'chengsta' on item 'Noble Audio Kaiser 10'
TBH I need to EQ ANY iems/headphones because they just don't have the bass I want. However I made the mistake of buying bass heavy iems because they have no treble quality. I got the encores and just EQ the bass and it is marvelous. However, normal bass EQ just don't cut it. If you have any...- chengsta

yeah, i went to their website and it was 'sold out'. I can't believe they don't sell digital downloads. -

The encores sound so good with everything. But right now I'm especially enjoying some good modern folk music. It stirs up creativity so easily.- chengsta

Noble Audio - the Wizard returns!
been a few days now and I just gotta say, the encores are the best damn sounding things I've ever heard out of all my ear toys. Worth the cash I'd say. I can confidently say I've hit endgame.- chengsta

Huh, the slightly-too-sharp treble went away after 30 or so hours. I rather liked it. :(- chengsta

The NEW Headphone Lounge Thread
yep too bad his company is relatively unknown. He makes the best sounding cables. I've had $700 cables before from other companies and they are of cheaper quality and didn't sound as good.- chengsta
