[Pic Request] UE SuFi 3's with custom earmolds?

[rroossinck]

Greetings, folks!

I'm fairly certain that I'll keep the pair of SuFi 3's that I picked up at Radio Shack for $40-ish the other day, but I'm toying with the idea of getting a pair of custom earmolds done by either Westone or Starkey in order to get a better fit/seal in my ear. The stock tips are okay, but I'm not quite sure that they're perfect for my ears (and it took me all of about two minutes to tear the foam off of the mounting piece). I don't seem to get as good a fit as I'd like to (I know SuFi 3's are pretty flat, but the bass seems to leave a little to be desired if the seal isn't perfect).

Questions:
1. Anyone else do a custom earmold for your SuFi's?
2. If so, could you post a pic (without sounding stalker-ish, a headshot would be great) or two of your setup?
3. Thoughts/perspectives? Any sound quality gains or losses?
4. [nOOb alert]The mounting post for the SuFi's are all the same, correct? I.E., if I got a set of these done for the SuFi 3's and then decided to upgrade down the road to 5's or Triple.Fi's or something, they'd fit on the post, right?

Thanks much!

I have used the tips from my old koss the plug. The seal is better and the bass is better than before without demaging the mids and hights.

that's a great idea .
But if you really got the custom earmolds ,then these is only one way for you to go to upgrade your IEM..

Thanks, everyone, for your replies thus far. I do appreciate it.

As far as the upgrade potential, there's a part of me that's seriously going to try to keep my audio gear to a bare minimum. I've got far too many fascinations, and from my perspective, this one can get pretty spendy pretty quick!

There's a thought in the back of my mind that IF an upgrade is in the works, that it might be a pair of SuFi 5's; in which case, the earpieces aren't a limiting factor.

I'm thinking about trying to amass a small assortment of tips to try and figure out what'll work best in my ears. The Spark Plug tips is a new one that I hadn't heard before, though. Anyone know where I can source a set of those tips without buying a pair of the 'phones?
