OK. Want to stick with 'established' brands and have inflated my budget.
So, buying new:

1. Etymotic ER4P
2. Shure SE 425 (not sure how much I'd get these for)
3. Westone [size=x-small]2 True-Fit[/size]
4. [size=x-small]Klipsch X10[/size]
5. [size=x-small]UE [/size]Triple Fi 10

 
any other 'names'?
Which would you go for?
I like detail and can live without total isolation, but do appreciaite some degree of it.
Highs don't have to sparkle too much, but bass should be tight, not bloated.
I loved my Shure SE530...

If you loved your Shure why not buy another?

 

[tonym]

maybe i only loved them because the only other IEM i've owned was an Ety ER6i!

 

[mark2410]

for you id probably say the shures

 

[imackler]

I think it would be worth considering the W2. You might get them for a bit less than the others, at least at new prices. The bass is descent, though not quite as tight as I'd like, the treble extended and the mids are quite nice. Its an excellent all rounder.
 
Though, if you can find a used SE535, I would jump all over that. I think you'd enjoy them most of all.

TFTA's > se535's & W2's
And 1/3 the price = up to you

Seen the SE425's go for around £205 atm.   Don't think you'd like the klipsch much as they are quite thick and warm, at least compared to the westones. 

What's wrong with your "old" se530?  If it's just the cable gone bad then they could be saved by doing a custom remould.  Alternatively if theres a fault with them outside the guarantee give shure a ring, they may be willing to do a deal for a pair of SE535's.  Speaking of which amp3 have those for £285 atm.
 
Cheers.
