Sounds good. I was considering a custom, but for now, it's the UM3X/UM56 combo (56s on the way).

I was planning to get those in solid colored shells because the artwork I have in mind just looks better over a solid color. After seeing those pics above of gotthing's awesome looking remold, I have decided to do things differently. I've seen the inside of a TF10 and without an extra driver, it's really not that fun to look at, so I'm getting it in the solid shells with artwork instead. The UMs, on the the otherhand... I just can't put them in a solid colored shell now. So, they'll be in translucent blue with no logo, so I can see all the internal goodness. Of course I'll give my impressions, but I have to warn you, I am a self-proclaimed "poser audiophile" and not nearly as seasoned as a lot fo you here, so my review should be taken with a grain of salt. It's looking like I wont have my customs till mid October, FYI. |

I can't really recall the sound of the E500's prior to the remold, I have been listening to UM3X since the cable of the Shure's broke. When I get home I will give them a proper listen, and I will make some pics. I will try to compare them with my UM3X/UM56 combo (which is really amazing) and a RSA Tomahawk headphone amp. |

Process should take 2-3 weeks after arriving before they ship out, as there are many domestic orders Unique Melody are handling at the moment. They have about 12 engineers in their lab that do remold and making of the monitors. |

I need something urgent to be cleared up, so it would be nice to know instead of waiting for a week for his response. |
