Sorry for doing what I always advise people against (asking a question without reading the while thread), but this thread is over 1000 posts long and I have to eat and use the bathroom once in a while.

If I were to send in my UE10's with which they can copy the mold (so no new impressions are needed), and send in my Shure E500's, how do they make a custom. Do they open the original housing and take the individual armatures and set them in their own mold, or do they just surround the whole, original E500 housing into their own mold.

And, since I am having the famous "E500 wire at the shell not working well problem", do they run their own cable into the IEM?

They destroy the original housing and make their own shell and they put in a socket for replaceable cable.

Sent off my impressions and TF10s today. Gonna go for really transparent black shells (smokey black?). Can't wait!

I sent my TF10s off today via USPS two day air. Can't wait to get mine back

BTW, does anyone know if they do the INEARZ graphic for free on the outside of our custom IEMs. Its actually a pretty cool graphic i wouldn't mind having

Thanks. Is it a UE10/11 JH-13 type of cable?

I don't believe so, earlier in the thread there are pics of the cable options. They appear to be solid, not braided like the UE and Westone cables are. I went ahead and ordered a JH-13 cable and sent it in with my order, its a much nicer cable then the stock cable.

 

[immtbiker]

I meant the terminations. If you are sending in your JH-13 cable, that answers my question. Thanks.

It's not braided/twisted like those, it's got a wrap around it but it has the 2 pin connectors. There's some different colors to choose from. I sent in a Westone ES cable to get my TF10 done.

Thank you, kind sir.

I didn't see any mention of how much Fisher charges for actual creation of the impression if we are local to their office.

InEarz, did I miss that somewhere? Thanks!

 

[vo328]

I'm also wondering how the single-bore vs. double-bore customizations compare to each other if the internals are SE530. There was some discussion of more detail and less warmth. Does that characterize the difference? I'm ready to pull the trigger, just trying to think about actual color and single vs. dual bore design.

I'm going to ship at least 3 (maybe 4) pairs of ears impressions to Fisher to make 3-4 pairs of remold IEMs (mainly SE530 and TF10). Can't wait until I come back from the break next week!

 

[vo328]

Thanks InEarZ!! Will see u guys later today!

InEarz or anyone qualified to answer this,

I will be wearing my custom reshelled UE Triplefi 10 while sleeping and I usually sleep on my side. So I assume there will be added pressure applied to the IEM in this case. So, when I have my impression taken, is it a good idea to tell my audiologist not to go deep into the ear canal when taking the impression ?
Comfort is very important to me.
