Not sure if this has already been asked... Does anyone know why 64ears isn't letting us custom design the shell of the IEM on the A-series? They only offer Clear, Black and Charcoal Translucent options on the shells. It used to be you could choose any color they offered for the shells and faceplates. Hope someone in here knows.

Those are not the only colors available for 3D printing. It's more likely that those are the only 3 colors they want to keep a running inventory of. Changing media in a 3D printer is easy, but it takes time. It's also likely they have a single machine for each color to avoid spending time doing just what I mentioned. Still, I'm glad I got mine before they made that switch. Having my shells be different colors has been awesome for me!

I'm getting ready to upgrade from my Quads to the A4 as part of the current upgrade promotion. Does anyone know how long 64Audio keeps impressions on file? Don't want to have to do impressions again if I don't have to.

I bought Qi's this time last year and when I got Adel's, I didn't need new molds. I think it is dependent on when the first molds came in and if they could be scanned. I know s0c9 had to get his redone, but he's been using them for a few years.

Well I received my A4's a couple of weeks ago and wow!
Great fit and amazing sound.
After a couple of years with consumer products in my ears the difference is like night and day.
I should have done this a loooooooong time ago.
I can hear everything clearly while lowering the overall volume
Kudos to the fine folks at 64 audio.

I had the opportunity to demo the U4 and a universal V6-S with the supplied demo tips this past Easter weekend. I found the V6-S to have better mids and highs than the U4, but the bass did not stand out enough for me to really hear myself. The bass on the U4 was better, but it tended to overwhelm the rest of the sound. I ended up using the U4 for most of our services, but if I had my pick, I would have liked the U4 with a little less bass or the V6-S with a little more bass. All of this was through a small, inexpensive headphone amp (church provided) with a mono mix (all that is available from the board). The mix was several vocals, two keyboards, 4 guitars, drums, click track, and myself on bass. Bass was the highest, followed by click track, drums (kick and snare), vocals, one keyboard, and then the remainder. No EQ.

The demo information said that "Generally the demos have a little more highs and a little less bass compared to the customs." As I plan to go the custom and not universal route, this would tend to make me believe that the A4 would have even more bass than the U4 I tried ... not in the direction I really want to go. Any thoughts?
