How could you ever have fallen out of love with them?

To the contrary, I find Livewires to be truly revealing of what they have delivered to them. They really do show you GIGO responsiveness. If you're not hearing much difference between amps or sources then I'd think your amps/sources aren't that different.
I can definitely hear very clear differences when I change amps (SR-71 vs either Hornet vs Tomahawk vs Mini3 vs etc, etc) when using highest quality source files - WAV/FLAC. When I switch to 320kbps mp3s they show me which amps are more (or less
) forgiving of the source files.

In keeping with my comments above that would be dependent to a greater degree by what they are fed.
For my best music, at highest quality through the SR-71 (which I'm listening to at the moment) I'd say:
Lows: rich; strong; smooth
Mids: engaging; palpable (vocals); real
Highs: crisp; clean; detailed

So what I'm thinking is that either they have problems with email, or they are really busy.

They are definitely NOT email people. They prefer phone contact and, yes, they are still a start-up company, meaning they generally have more work than staff to deal with it all. Communication can be s-l-o-w but they are good people who do try to catch up emails when they can.

FeedMeTrance's passionate keenness is enviable but this 'strength' is also his 'weakness', where it can be seen as impatience. We all know the money is safe, guys. They do deliver the product, sometimes after a slightly longer wait than anticipated.
But they do deliver.
And I think we'd all prefer them, particularly during their business hours, to be focussing on getting the products out rather than spending that time in emails. It would just be good if they could get through more emails in their non-business hours.
- which is what makes it even harder for FeedMeTrance on this side of the globe.
FeedMeTrance, I'm sure you've already done this but check your Junk Email folder - sometimes during my long wait I had emails that had bounced back land up there, with me just thinking I'd sent it but in fact John hadn't received it. The other strategy is to send a copy of the email via the Livewires website enquiry form - that sometimes got me a response within 2-3 days rather than the sometimes longer wait via the email system (sometimes my emails got to their server but were autofiled as spam by the server - blasted servers
But the enquiry form messages always got through.
).
Everyone is always looking for a grado sound in a IEM...maybe we should spread the word more.
Still waiting, haven't had any of my emails replied for nearly a week - sigh 
) comparison between your LiveWires and Shure SE530PTH?
