And a kidney... don't forget the kidney...

with the currency rate, 20% doesn't really mean anything at all.  anyway, i did vote um mircale but i'm also interest in merlin as well because i got um4(from the um family, not westone) and um4 sound excellent.  got them couple years ago and incredible value(i believe it was like 2800 HK dollar, or around 360 dollars)

i did realize that.  look up again, i said shure se210 "REMOLD"

i've "been there done that" too.  what was the universal iem you remold before?  maybe i was lucky?  maybe single driver is easier to get good/better result?  shure se210 was my least favorite or actually i hated it(that's the reason i took the dive and remold it).  when i got the remold.  it's still shure se210.  high roll off, acceptable mids but still muddy and very little bass but still boomy.  the difference, main difference was, a remold shure 210 was, like fm radio and those universal iem are just like am radio.  universal iem basically sound, flat.

 I don't wish to derail this thread my friend, but that couldn't be farther from the truth. Universal in-ears come in an enormous number of flavors, as do customs. The above statement is almost too vague to even consider relevant. Sure, I've no trouble believeing that of the universals you've personally heard, you find them to sound flat. But to make a general statement such as the one above, and the previous one regarding ANY top tier IEM is pointless, unless of course you've heard just about ANY said top-tier/custom, in which case the two statements may be of some relevance. I respect your opinion of course, but it is just that, merely an opinion. Such facts/generalities are scarce around these parts my friend, because there are an infinite number of variables to consider, and no two listeners perceive the EXACT same sound, per se. I won't mention anything further, and don't take this negatively. Much like you, I'm merely stating my opinion. PM me anytime you wish to my friend; I'm always open to conversation.

And yes, patiently awaiting pictures myself.

Great thread man!  Quite an undertaking.  I voted 3A as it's the only one that is radically different in design and technology.  Too bad you already have 16's.  You should ask them to make you a box and tune your pieces for review purposes.

 Care to explain please?

All JH16s have to be tuned to the individual JH3A DSP/Amp in question.

For review purposes meaning they let him use his JH16 rather than buy another.  JHA no longer offers JH16 upgrades on the 3A.

Oh, I see. Thank you for clarifying.
