ReShell CIEM - 2016
I did some google/forum searching and Im getting fairly old posts about reshelling - has anyone used a reshelling service for CIEM (normal old school CIEM like jhaudio 16, weston es5) in 2016 or late 2015?

Why go full custom when you can get custom tips like um56? (curiosity thread)
I have been going back and forth on what top end iem to get. I know the nozzle holes might be different, but why not get the top non custom JH audio (or other brand) and just stick my um56 on it? Some ideas I thought of: 1. Transference of sound waves to more of the ear might make...- twylight

Custom IEM hesitation
Any advice for those with top of the line custom IEMs? I have not ventured into them because of the lack of resale and fear of ruining them.

Ipod -> JB -> vlciphone -> playing flac on ipod touch 2g
It works...just a serious PITA compared to just scripting your flac collection to something the ipod can work it. 1104kps FLAC Steve Vai Passion and Warfare master playing right now...my ears - its so sad how lame the ipod is out of the box for just playing your music.- twylight
