Glad to see I'm not late to the party! Haven't been on Headfi for a while for various reasons, but sure am glad I logged in today to update my profile and take a peek. Gonna be a bit of a stretch that weekend, but will do my best to be there.   By the way, any visiting Headfi-ers who need...

earfonia, thanks for flying the Singa flag! Great review, and you've piqued my interest to try the IM02 and IM03 now. Picked up the IM70 from Stereo - really enjoying it. It can definitely hold its own against some of my more expensive IEMs, and for the money its really hard to think of...

Hey folks, been a while. Recently started playing out again last year, and decided that a major rig renovation is in order. Here's the new setup for home, studio, stage... everything.     Not the best photo, but I'm somewhat underequipped in the camera department (no thanks to all the...

  Just do it. Its cheap enough (relatively) that it won't hurt too much. And its definitely well worth the cash - perhaps more. My lunatic ravings convinced a friend to try it out. He wasn't in the market for (yet) another pair of IEMs. He tried em. Made a generally impolite remark on how good...

Just picked up a pair of IM70s yesterday, and have been listening to them all day today (at the risk of missing important phone calls, death threats from colleagues etc).    Let me caveat all this by saying how much of a fan of dynamic drivers I am - I've got FS Atrios (2010 model), GR02...

The additional BAs definitely do not create a V-shaped signature. If anything, as what Kunlun and kenman have already shared, the additional BAs actually augment the dynamic's signature. So you still get the firm mids and deep lows of the ASG-1 / AS-1, PLUS additional treble brilliance.    I...

did a quick read up on Rhodium, and seems like its actually a very rare metal that's not easy to manage. this here wikipedia entry explains a lot: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rhodium   this para comes in somewhere in the middle of the entry:  "Rhodium has also been used for honors or to...

Hey Kenman, thanks for the kind words.    RE: paying for the Rhodium plates - I'm quite a utilitarian guy. So i probably wouldn't have gone for the rhodium plates if I had a choice. Polished shells would be nice, but that's it. Are they value for money? I don't know, it all depends on the...

  A few months ago, I sent my AS-1 for a refit, and decided to mod it to AS-2 specs, since I was already well satisfied with the way my ASG-1 sounded, and would be happy to use it for my casual listening & stage monitoring needs.   Picked up my new (old) AS-2 from my trusty local dealer...

Hey fuzzyash, don't worry about the size of the ASG-1.2. the pics look big but it really isn't that big. I was surprised by how small they were in person - and i'm not a very big person either.   Have gotten small-sized folks, as well as folks with small ears to try the ASG-1, all seem to...

Quote:   +1 to tinyman's response. they do open up a bit, but the "congestion" you're hearing is likely the mid-forward character of the ASG-1.2. The IEMs will open up, but with frequent listening you will get accustomed to the signature as well. It really takes some getting used to, but...

I concur with kenman, the ASG-2 is yet to be a Thing, per se.    On that note, I did have the opportunity to try out the universal demo for the AS-2 yesterday (not the ASG-2), for a few minutes. It wasn't a prolonged listening session, for sure, so I couldn't possibly have spent enough time...

Been a while since I posted. Too busy with work and listening to my ASG-1s ;)   Just picked up an album by Turkish guitarist Cenk Erdogan. Cool microtonal jazz fusion, for those who are so inclined. This track sounds killer thru my ASG-1!   https://soundcloud.com/cenkerdogan/hey-doctor...

Hey there, great review. Welcome to the Aurisonics SG club! :p   I've got the complete opposite opinion on the stock tips though - they are flimsy, yes, but they work pretty well for me. at first I had a lot of difficulty with the fit, but once I figured that they were supposed to sit very...
