Very cool. Do you foresee any problems fitting Chris's connectors into a UM recessed socket?

Nice job dogears.  You could probably sell those, they look very cool.

Will see about the Twisted Cables.  I still have a few other reviews I need to finish up...I just need to get some good pics of the Null Audio cables and then have 3 more cables to review plus the TWag with the JH16 and a few other custom IEMs.
