True. TF10s sound the way they do not just because of the BA drivers used, but also in the placement and shape of the IEMs that affect how the sound travels into your ear. Remolding them changes all that. Custom reshells are abit like lottery... some people get an increase in SQ, but others don't. I've a few friends who had theirs reshelled, were "amazed" with the SQ when they got them back, then fell from heaven back to earth when they A-B with my original TF10s.
Whats it called? Audio memory? Acoustic memory? Anyway, the part of your brain that registers SQ can't keep memory of it long... which is why A-B is required to really compare SQ... not based off of memory. I suspect many people who are clamoring about how good their reshells sound have not gone back to compare with the originals... since they only have a pair and they're now reshelled?
I think it makes more sense to be able to control and ensure every earpiece sounds as good if they were all identical. Pretty difficult to do that with customs seeing how every ear's different, hence affecting the placement of the drivers, the length of the earpiece the sound has to travel before entering the ear canal etc...?
