I'm really quite interested to see (or hear) how the titanium tube works out. Over here in Asia, there is no shortage of "Titanium" Jewelry that boasts health benefits and the like, some supposedly miracle property of titanium.

I've already received mine. So my first impressions (30 h listening) are pretty much wow. 3D Holographic, transparent, lots, lots and lots of detail (that's why they are so Holographic, with spacial clues all over) and very smooth extended treble.
have to listen more, but till now, very very impressed.

Welcome to the TG334 club. It's truly an amazing pair of IEMs, & universal too. For most of my genre of music I like the TG334s.

What do you use to drive them??

i received mine 2 weeks ago and I think it's really amazing handling most of my music. However, it's a little warm and bass emphasis while i like the dead neutral sounding iems. My DAP is ipod touch 4, can u guys give me some suggestions on portable amps that can get rid of its warmth?

And the noise floor is fairly low, I assume?  While it was fine for my ES5's, my HP-P1 is a bit noisy with my 334's and almost unusable with my FADs.  the UHS6S MKII looks like it might be portable enough to couple with the HP-P1's DAC.

There is next to no audible noise with the UHA-6S. There is slight hum with the FI-BA-SS. For some reason however it picks up a lot of noise with the Piano Fortes, though it seems to be a ground loop issue oddly enough, something that no other IEM picks up with the UHA-6S. I know it's a ground loop because it vanishes when I touch metal. Again, that's only with the Piano Fortes though. Ground loops are also an issue in my room in general, as I had to ground my Stax amp to the outlet screw.
 
The UHA-6S and TO GO 334 is an excellent match however.

I have the ES5's.  Jude has both the ES5's and the custom variation of these as well, which should be similar.  I'm not really comfortable giving detailed comparisons yet as I've only listened to the 334's for maybe two hours in total.  I'm pretty sure the 334's image better, though -- it's definitely a larger image, at least.  I don't mean to parrot MuppetFace, but, having heard a pair now, I'd have to agree that the 334's feel like little SR009's.  The ES5's are more like LCD-2 r.2's.  So, they're both smooth, but the 334's achieve such smoothness with less coloration, I guess.
 
They're also both notable for their midrange performance, but the 334's are more, how would I put this... liquid?

Regarding portable amps, I use my TO GO 334 with the Leckerton UHA-6S, and I don't detect much in the way of coloration. They sound quite transparent to me.

To me, it's quite transparent but still a little little warm

. Which opamp are used in your UHA-6S, btw?

Oh yeah, and it's probably worth noting that the 334's drivers dwarf those in the ES5's.  As far as I can tell, the the 334's smallest driver - its tweeter, is more comparable to the ES5's subwoofer than anything else in the Westones.
