Thanks guys, I had impressions taken yesterday (my local ear doc does it for $25) so I'm pretty much good to go on that front and for the apparent price it's a no brainer. I'll drop them a line today and see what they say regarding turn-around but 2 weeks+ is fine by me.

So I've pretty much convinced myself to go back down the rabbit hole that is Custom IEMs. My budget, as usual, is somewhat limited so I'm trying to weigh all of my options. Over a year ago I started a similar thread and at the time was pretty much ready to pull the trigger on some Freq product right as they decided to go under. So I tried the Livewires, they sucked without an amp, so I bailed and gave the idea more time to percolate. In addition to the traditional options this time I'm also considering one of the new-to-the-scene remolding/shelling services that have come about in the last 6 months or so. I have a pair of TF10 Pros that would be pretty ideal for this and so I figured I'd put it out there and get some feedback. Anyone have any direct experience with this type of service? Pros: Cost - $200 to have the TF10's turned into customs, $300 if I want an additional driver added to allegedly bring them within 5% of UE11s Cons: Location - almost definitely means dealing with an overseas company. I've heard there's a place in Florida but I can't find it. Resale - I'd imagine the value for something like this is $0, which honestly I'm pretty comfortable with.

Thanks. Think +

SPARTA!!!

I don't, but those crazy folks on the left coast claim this is what they need these days.

Built this funny looking thing tonight.

Have no fear, there will never be a 13 associated with my IEMs.

Ship them to NH, I'll test/match them up for you if you want.

Tis the season, got ear impressions taken. Let the agonizing and waffling begin.

Your comment makes no sense to me. When an amp can, it's a bonus, when it can't I don't see any reason to feel awful about it.

I found Super's site, can't for the life of me fingure out how to download it.

I ain't skeeeered of that fat tub of goo.

Be strong.

DVD Flick looks like it'll work, but takes enough system resources that I'll have to wait till after work to let it run and check the results tomorrow morning.

Grahame, Thanks, I'll try to look at some of that later. My issue really isn't getting the file to play on my PS3, I'm semi-savvy enough to be able to do that most days but ultimately what I'd like to do is get the mkv to the point where I can create a custom DVD from it. From what I understand none of the dvd authoring programs that I have access to are going to be able to handle the mkv format.

So I have a mkv file that I would ultimately like to try and get onto a writeable DVD that can perhaps be played in a standard DVD player. I have tried several pieces of software to would presumably at least allow me to transcode the mkv file to avi and therefore make it more "playable" on various HTPCs. For example, my PS3 won't play mkv but will play most avi. So can anyone help. Time really isn't of essence here, I've been working on this on and off for 6 months already. I keep reading page after page that allegedly link to programs like mkv2ps3 and others but eff me if I can even find download links some times.

I often use my panavise in conjunction with a helping hands. And I've actually found it "handy" to have two sets of helping hands that are different sizes.

Yeah, I'll know more than 24hrs in advance. I guess this officially gives me a deadline for the 307A project.

Thanks Jin, but with the two batteries that came with my netbook I get ~8hrs even while watching movies which is more than enough.

Sexy.

Room Reserved for Friday and Saturday nights. Still up for debate whether or not I'll be there, but given Dinny's news of the rate selling out it seemed prudent.
