Yeah, crimped as in flattened, but only a tiny bit near the end. I'm not sure it would be enough to ruin the cable, but I'd need a new TF10 to test that out. It would certainly be harder to insert. I agree, it's a bad idea all around. So let's just say this:

IF YOU'RE GETTING THE FISHER CUSTOMS, DON'T USE THE OLD TF10 CABLE.

Long thread. occasionally poor signal / noise ratio

Question.

Can the Altec Lansing iM716 (should be about the same as the Etymotic ER4 series) be custom molded?

Thanks,
Leon

Someone remolded his ER4p so I'd guess it's possible.

 

[LeonWho]

Yay!

And since I'm too lazy to read through 92 pages, I have a few more questions.

1. The price is still $80, right?
2. What's a good cable to use? The cheaper (price-wise) the better.
3. How do we start the process? (Email? Phone call? Telepathic communication?)
4. About how much are impressions at a local audiologist?
5. I'm still relatively young (16 and a half). Are customs suited to me? In other words, if my ears are still growing, won't the impression be useless in a few years (and therefore the earphones)?

Thanks,
Leon

 

[intoflatlines]

yes, es2, email, depends.

I'm guessing these are the Westone ES2 cables?
Elite Series Monitor Replacement Cables | Westone

Dang. They seem expensive.

Would these work?
LiveWires - Cables

Thanks,

The LiveWires cable uses different connectors so it won't work.

Just go with their own cable, only 20$ and you don't have to pay additional shipping.

That sounds great! Any different "models" and/or colors?

Also, any pictures?

According to Kaysen, the clear wires have the most stiffness. I would not suggest getting the clear as I found them very hard to work with, even after the hair dryer hack.

They have 3 colors, clear, black and beige.

I posted some detailed pics pages ago. Do search for them.

Anyway, pic of my remolded SE530:

He did his double bore and I did mine single bore with the original filter. He posted impressions somwhere here. I like the single bore, sounds just like they did before I sent them off. I have to admit I am curious about the difference.

 

[smsl]

how about the SQ for ur this dual bore custom SE530 ?
