Thanks Lil' Knight, at least If I choose the JHA route I won't have wasted the money on the ES cables I've already ordered.

Always thought that Fedex would cost the earth.

Hey spud!

Sorry for the delay in replying - busy few days.

Fedex cost £30 (ouch!) through parcel2go.com with a £5 discount voucher (readily available online). However, sent on a friday and they arrived on the Monday! I also stress less about customs when using a dedicated courier.

Hope this helps.

Also, FYI, still no further communication with UM despite me sending 2 emails. Also added sam on MSN but he's not been online when I have yet (despite being up to 3am for a few nights).

I'll keep the updates coming....

 

[SpudHarris]

I checked out DHL (local Staples store) and they also wanted nearly £30. I'm doing a little soul searching though as a few people have commented on the possible risks with sending the JH13's. Ive also sent UM an e-mail asking for reasurances and normally have an e-mail reply the following day. Even if I send the JH13's back to JHA I think I'll still get the W3's done....

Ok, so i purchased some Ultimate Ears Triple Fi.10 for $25 (I know, crazy!!!!) and I totally love the sound. I already have SE530's which I just sent in for a repair/replacement. I am looking to Sell my SE530's in order to remold and add 1 driver to each side of the triple fi.10's, to get a similar sound to the UE11's. So let me get this right, it will only cost me $230 to do this?? and they send me the impression kit? If this is true then I will sell my Shure se530 replacements once they come in for $230 and get this done. Thanks for your help.

Why not just pay $90 to get both monitors combined? =) Use teh low drivers of the TF10 for Lows, dual lows of the Shure as mids (yes seriously) then the high driver for the TF10 as highs. 5 driver custom, cost you $90. Then you have a extra pair of drivers to use for your next remold.

Woah. $25 for TF10?

They don't send you an impression kit. I'm not sure where you picked that up, but you gotta go to an audiologist for impressions.

Just wanted to post some pictures and impressions of my remolded Super.fi 5 Pros.
I opted for the extra bass driver to get the sound signature of the UE 10 Pros and so far I have to say I'm pretty impressed.

The fit, finish and quality of the acrylic shell are just breathtaking. Those guys really know what they are doing.

Now I don't know if this is new and it's not that easy to see in the pictures but they seem to use dual bores now.

Overall turnaround time was about 6 weeks. Which is pretty good, considering I didn't exactly use express shipping to China

Communication with Sam was pretty good despite his shaky english skills

They could respond to E-Mails faster but that's not really news.

Now if you'll excuse me, I have some extensive listening tests to perform.

 

[SpudHarris]

They look beautifully finished, droool.....

 

[rcdejesus]

sir fiendie,

we have the same color remolds, hehe though i opted for the additional MID driver, 3 way crossover. Mine's also with single bore nozzle, would there be a significant difference with a dual bore?

Damn, the acrylic shell really is something, looks perfect and seamless construction.

 

[Lil' Knight]

What color is that?

 

[fiendie]

Hey rcdejesus,

yeh they really look stunning.

As far as I know you just have dual bores that terminate into a bigger one at the end so there shouldn't be a tonal difference. Can anyone elaborate on that?

I thought about the additional mid driver too but I didn't really know if I wanted the mid bump.

How does it sound?


Cheers
Andy

I like the new cases better.

Translucent Black.

It looks a bit lighter in the pictures than it actually is.
But I love that you can see the drivers that clearly

How does the additional MID driver sound compared to the TF10P? It would be great if you could give a review!
