to provide some more information for those who are interested:

1) where did you go to get your molds and how much did it cost?

There's a good audiologist at Ngee Ann that charges $40.

2) what colour for the earpiece is available and how much more will a custom design cost? Is it possible to have a different colour/design for each side? ( my current preference is the red and blue combination like the livewires)

 Any color is possible within reason, red and blue definitely.

3) What cables are available and since they're detachable, should i choose to buy more, how much extra do i have to pay?

Cables are detachable. The standard silver/copper ones cost $30. Others are possible at other prices. You can also supply your own.

4) Do you know of any aftermarket cables that can be used?

Westone cables will fit.

5) Since i'm sending in a dynamic driver iem, will the makers compensate for this by introducing air ports in their design so as to maintain the same sound?

To be updated

6) the warranty is '1 year for sound signature' what does that mean? What kind of damages is covered under the warranty and is free refitting covered as well?

It covers changes in sound but not driver failure. If a casing doesn't fit there's a refit free of charge.

7) my situation is A bit complicated: i'll be in singapore for 3 weeks before returning to the state. i assume that the makers will not get my iems done before i return to the states. assuming i want it mailed to me in the states ( another solution is get my friend to collect it then he/she can bring it back for me) how much more do i have to pay?

P&P to the US is S$30 extra

Cool should i not like the end product, can i get back my iem in the original casing with full refund of payment? if not, how will it work?

That's not possible. The original casing is cracked open.

9) if you do know, can you give a short description of the sound sig of the different cables? eg how they differ from each other...

Silver is brighter highs, tighter lows. Copper is more laid back, tighter lows and warmer sound. Silver/copper combines the best of both.

Just checked out the Null Audio website and they're offering customization too. The interesting thing is that they're offering to add an additional driver for SF5P, TF10P and UM2 together with the remolding and claiming that it will make the sound 95% similar to UE10, UE11 and ES3 respectively.. Anyone going to take the plunge? Grin

just curious,

what happens if you re-shell an UM3X, do you get a ES3X?




and..
does the warranty of the iem get void after you re-shell the iem?

to be expected since price of es3x > price of um3x

Naturally the warranty for the iem will be void as the casing will have been destroyed. The service provider for the re-shelling will usually provide a period of warranty for re-shelling if the customs don't fit, but I don't think they provide warranty for the drivers.
