I have been told, though, that IEMs tend to sound different with third party custom molds, not always for the better.
I agree entirely. I own third party custom mold for E500, and IMO it makes the bass sound very strong and too overwhelming. Definitely didn’t sound as expected.
I also read that custom mold for Etymotic, making etymotic to sound even more digital than foamies.

Own iPOD Classic 80GB and there is no way the SQ to be anywhere close to iMOD 5.5G with VCap. The Vcap miles away in terms of: Soundstage, Decay, Depth, Midrange, MUSICALITY! with ER-4P(Apuresound)
Triple.Fi indeed sounds good directly from any player. have you considered TTVJ Millett? It sounds great with Triple.Fi IMO.
Ehhh.. wasn't it so big, I would have bought it.
Update: I have ordered a Westone ES2 cable to see how the Triple fi sound with it. I seems to change the sound signature. I'll report whenever I get it.

I use E500 and TF10p base on my mood for the day and the place i'm going to visit
Peronally, I find Shure olive on tf10p redue the treble sparkle and bloated the bass a little. Switching back to UE silicon sleeves, I find the bass more punchy and deeper and treble detail seems to be better and extended.
ES2 cable will make tf10p sounder slightly warmer and detailed. Another advantage is the flexible cable
sf5pro will benefit alot from ES2 cable. There is so much more detail, treble roll off gently and there is more texture to the bass. Sometime, i prefer sf5p over E500 or tf10p.
I find that synergy with the IEM is important. My modified Ref synergise very well with tf10p and E500/sf5p synergise better with Hornet or mini3. Guess I'll need UE11p to have all the sound characteristic for the 3 IEMs
Hey Theory, does the same Westone ES2 cable fit both the Superfi 5 and the Triple fi, or do the pins need to have different length?

How do you get/put other manufacturers cables on the triple fi? I saw replacement cables available on ultimate ear's web site but how does this work. Any recommendations on what to re-cable it with and where to get the cable? THANKS

I still want to know that and have another question. How much do these change with burn-in? They don't have armature drivers so I am assuming quite a bit. How long does burn in take to be complete on these? Thank you so much!
Last thought: I'll try a Westone ES2 cable with my Triple Fi in a couple of months. I want to try a westone feeling with my Triple fi earpieces. Some people who tried it (theory87) think the resulting sound is better than the Westone ES2 (he thinks the same of the normal Triple fi, though).
If someone wants to try a cheaper UE, the Super.fi 5 Pro are said to improve drastically with the ES2 cable.[/quote]
ciao amico: that's true! wesrone es2 cables improve3 dramatically the sound of uesf5pro, I can assure you!
ciao bello!

From what I've read, the prongs on the Westone cable are slightly longer compared to the UE connectors, so you have to trim them a little, but the shape of the basic connector is the same from the pics I've seen.
I tried the UE custom series cable on the Triple Fi, but couldn't tell any difference sound wise.
The plastic "guard" around the prongs seems to be shaped different on the customs cables, so the prongs were exposed a bit on the Triple Fi.
Although the braided cable of the customs felt and looked better, I didn't like that issue (dust/etc could get in) so I sent it back.
