Hi I have tf10 that is being unused at the moment cause a) it's uncomfortable and b) it needs new cables. I was wonder what the best option for me was. I need a good pair or in ear monitors for live music setting (I'm a singer/songwriter as well as an electric guitarist). I'd like it to be a little bit more neutral sounding but still have a big soundstage. What is my best option?? Thanks

I'll bite - there are a number of threads where the discussion of re-shelling TF10's is mentioned - A lot of your decision will be influenced by where you live - if it is in the US - there is Kozee and Fisher Hearing - you are probably looking at around $150 or so (shipping - DIY ear molds) - more if you use an audiologist. From what I hear - they try to match the sound signature during the construction process - so you end up with a TF10 that fits great and isolates well - If you like your TF10 and just hate the way it fits - it is worth the money - I personally enjoy the sound - I did the flip mod and they fit a lot better and don't sit out like Frankenstein bolts.
 
So look up Kozee and Fisher - for the US - others may have other suggestions - like UM in China - they are much more expensive, but have a lot of other options - you can add drivers to make the triple into a quad or 6-driver configuration - although I have heard mixed reviews about the sound.
 
Good luck.

Thanks for getting back! I have read many threads on reselling options but I'm specifically looking for use in a live music monitoring context. I've not found too many users who use them for that purpose.

You could get a pair of UERM's, or something out of the UE customs range, but that'll set you back a grand+.
But i mean, apart from price, convenience and quality, there's really nothing that differentiates between reshelling companies, it's all the same material, and it's all customised to your ear shape.
