Yeah I went to Dr. Resnick too. Nice guy and very professional. I went to him for my UM-56 Westone 3 tips and my JH16. I had fit problems with both, but I really don't think it was due to any shortcoming in his impression-taking skill, and that's reinforced by your positive experience. My rough estimate is that he's already done dozens of JH13/16 molds, based his 6 per month rate, in addition to years of doing Westone impressions and hearing aids. I posted my recommendation of him in the audiologists thread like last spring.
I was seriously considering having Beth Orliss take my impressions, she's another highly-regarded Westone/JHA/UE audiologist. I wanted to try someone else just to see if it would make any difference in the fit, but I'm thinking that any experienced audiologist's impressions should be the same; the variables will be the expertise of the technician making the shell and tip, and uncontrollable factors like quirks in the way your ear canal is shaped and moves when you talk, walk, etc. In any event, Beth wasn't available for 2 weeks and I couldn't wait that long! She's also based in Jersey, but will visit you in the city if she can find the time.
What I can't believe is that the ES5 has been out for like 8 months and there hasn't been one full-fledged review on Head-Fi. Plenty of short impressions have been posted, and there are "professional" reviews of varying usefulness scattered around the web, but no thorough Head-Fi review. (Hint, hint...)
