OK, that is something to consider.  Thank you, Watagump.

Right, it is pretty clear that the buyer inserted the wrong size plugs.  The good news is that the sockets don't appear to be cracked, so I think a thicker plug should allow me to use the earphones without issue.   I've read that Westone cables have thicker pins -- I will assume they are the...

Can anybody recommend an aftermarket cable for my TripleFi's? I had sold the earphones on ebay and the purchasers must have used a cable with a plug with slightly thicker pins.  They must have realized this and returned it to me as not being "as described".  The stock UE cable plugs will no...

  Hmm, Interesting looking socket connectors on your IEM's.  Thanks for sharing.

Quote: Somebody in this thread modded his post-2010 UE cables for his Fisher IEM custom.  Sorry, I'm too lazy to check on when the post was made - it was some time ago. Although I really like the angled plug on that cable I think it would be a mistake to mod the plug to fit a standard...

Just to be clear, I wasn't criticizing your decision. I think it makes sense for most of the users/uses.  I was responding to another post that provided outdated information on this point.   For me, the smaller Viablue is a bit less comfortable to handle, but it obviously will fit in more...

Quote:   Very nice.  I assume those are for your customs as well as your reshells.  So, will this be your standard construction, then?  Is there a particular specification or recommendations on the variety of plug that will work with the recessed socket?

Quote:   It turns out that CH uses the small Viablue T6s which is much smaller than the standard plug.  The standard T6s is in the middle.  The T6s he uses is on the left.  

Question for those who have recently received their IEM's.  There was some talk about InEarZ throwing in a free wax loop cleaner and one of their cases with each reshell.  Did anybody get those?  (I didn't).  

Quote: It is probably OK, but if it were mine I would shorten the pins enough so that the plugs sit flat against the monitor - not because of how it looks, but to reduce twisting at the socket.

That's funny, because the Viablue looks like a smaller plug - but then again there is nothing sitting next to it in the image to gauge its size.  

Quote:   I'm going to be going with a CH cable. Do you have any recommendations on which plug to choose?   I like the looks of some of those sheaths shown on his blogpage, but CH recommends against it, and besides, it probably would increase cable noise.

Quote: Thanks. Good photo. I really like how it shows the armature outputs clearly and the connection to the sound tubes/filters.  Pretty big armatures, too - they block the underside of the wood - can't see much of that - lotsa stuff in there!   They look very nicely done. I hope you...
