i have talked to UE about customs for the super.fi's and they're wholeheartedly against it. they were designed to be universal and their customs are designed to be custom. if you want a custom fit go to their custom lineup.

at least that's their opinion.

I had a feeling they would say that

well it does make sense though,if they sold they SF series with custom options it would probably tamper with the true custom sales.
Their lowest Custom item is 525$ right? if you add the higher sound quality and and custom fittings etcs its a good deal,better than making the inferior SF series custom without the added sound upgrade.

My dream is to one day own the UE10 though...I don't see that happening for several years though lol.

^ it goes by a new name now, the triple fi. 10 pros, though I would prefer to simply call them the triple fi.s.

I was thinking about this earlier today... if UE decided to come out with some type of custom mold for sf5p's, not as "nice" as their custom line, it would make a great stepping stone for an upsell opportunity to their super.fi line of customers, no? It seems we are always upgrading anyhow....

I'm off to Japan in a few weeks, so I decided to contact the guy who does these custom molds.

He said that he can do a full custom mold for my e500s (but he said that would void the warranty

).

We really didn't discuss price too much, but he did say around 18,000 Yen. I'm not sure though if he meant that it was for a custom tip, or the full custom mold? Something was lost in translation.

He works in Ginza and I have an appointment with him to do the impressions on Feb 13th and then I pick them up on the 16th.

If anyone is interested I will ask him when I'm there if he would do overseas orders by mail.

Let us know how it works out and be sure to post pics. I would like to know if he will do mailorder.

18,000 yen is only about $150 USD.
