Frankly speaking if you want my suggestion , chuck everything else and go for the JH13/16 once and for all. I know , it will be way beyond the budget but I feel its better than keep on upgrading every few months. That's what I personally feel. I am sure guys like Ritvik,Superfrag etc will be able to relate to this better. I am myself sick and tired of my brain playing these games with me .Especially after losing these TF10s even before I could get my hands on them , I don't feel like spending on any high end IEM unless I try it and fall in love with it.
If you want to save money get hold of a used JH13/ UE11 pro or some good top-tier customs and get them remolded by Unique Melody .I am sure the JH13s have enough bass to let you continue with the TF10 like bass and sound signature
.
TF10 remolded for Triple Driver is nice. TF10 remolded to the max with 6/8 drivers is as good as the JH13/JH16 in terms of quality, just the signature will be different. And since he likes the TF10 signature, I feel he should do some research on head-fi and ask if the TF18 sound signature is similar to the TF10. If it is, THAT is the once and all upgrade for him.

Hi guys,
I am too confused with this and I need you guys to help me out with this. :S
I was thinking of getting my Tf10's remolded from Unique Melody.
The cost of getting the Tf10's remolded is around 300SGD.
That would make a triple driver custom iem.
Now, I can get a used top tier iem for that price. And have two top tier IEMs rather than put all my eggs in one basket.
Fact: I really like my tf10's sound sig and getting them custom remolded would make them even better.
As the primary genre, I listen to mostly electronic dance music, EDM.
What do you guys think?
TF10 remold, add as many drivers as possible. Don't forget, you can add more later. Make sure to mention that they should retain the TF10 sound signature as much as possible.

^ am a bit conserned about the fitting part ....some say that at canjam JerryH's people made them open their mouth for ear impressions . SOme say most orders are back returned for refitting. JH only gives 1 month refitting warranty ...it taes more time for the item, to come to india!!
well 100 per ear is good but what if he makes my wrong impression....for hearing aid fitting is important but not THIS important.( so the doctor might be a bit casual about it )
Open mouth impression with a bite block is the best way to do it.

I did my impressions with her ; excellent job. She has pictures and instructions as well, so follow that.
Also, 1 month is just a guideline ; if you've received your custom's late etc, and contact them immediately, they will refit it for you. Oh and I forgot to mention, they do not use USPS at all, they use UPS for all their deliveries, and international UPS is very reliable and fast since its private. (Just like FEDEX).

i disagree with everybody here. I just cant imagine how could I be stuck with one sound signature. Might be because I am not an audiophile or might be because I didnt hear any customs. But seriously stick to tf10 only? Or just re0? No way. I listen to too many things and my mood changes too many times, and just cant believe I would stick wih one. And its too much fun to try new things
Well, then that's your POV. For you, the best would be JH16/Westone ES5 combo.

changing signature? JH3A.
JH3A is still far from being a reality. The development has been further delayed. And don't forgot, you have to send your custom's to them to tune with the JH3A, and once that is done, you cannot use the IEM elsewhere and any other manner. It will be a permanent combo, that AFAIK, cannot be undone. So take great care.
Not to mention, Rithvik won't be able to do the above since his is 2nd hand and remolded elsewhere.
I bought my JH5's a month back or so ; I still get wow'ed by it now and then. The only place where it lacks is bass, which is really fine by me since I don't like much bass. JH5's are easily satisfying me.. I don't have any urge to upgrade, except when I have finished saving up for either the JH13 or UM Miracle.
