My Shure 530’s are coming back from warranty replacement (cable issue) again. This is my 3rd replacement in as many years, thinking it is time to move on. My preference is mid’s, love clear vocals but would also like a large soundstage. The Earsonic’s SM3 seem to be ideal based on what I have read here in the forums. Since the SM3’s are right at the price point of some customs should I go that route? I have been looking at the Sleek CT6 customs, Live Wire Trip’s, Alien Ears C3 and JH5Pro. Would like to stay in this price range as far as other options. Can anyone with the SM3’s and or any of these customs advise? I will be pairing these with an Iphone 3GS or 1st gen. Ipod nano, Hi-end 2 ZYCable and an Arrow amp, which should be arriving in 4 weeks (new generation Arrow with improvements according to Robert).
