I can feel the vinyl crackling inside my sinuses with the ASG-2s D:

Quote:   This sounds incredible. In my stage use of the AS-2 I've generally opened the bass port a large amount to enhance the sub-bass and then EQd the mid-bass down (I like extra rumble for my kick, and came from Atrios). The balance of sub-bass to mid-bass is, to my ears, the only...

Quote:   That's for 5 pairs, and I definitely prefer them over every Auvio, UE, MEElec, Monster, and Aurisonics tip in my collection, for the ASG-2s at least.

Quote:   I too noticed that the Auvio tips seem to make the treble more grating - the Ortofon tips have much less harsh treble to my ears, as others have also observed.   They can be purchased directly from Ortofon in a set of 3 pairs, one in each size; or from Musica Acoustics in...

Quote:   I agree entirely - re-focusing the mid-bass boost & port to the 60Hz-ish is all I would change, but even without that they're still the most capable and cost-effective IEM I've had the privilege to own.

Quote:   Agreed. I hope that more burn-in opens up the sub-bass a little bit more, or that a revision 2.1 brings back the sub-bass magic from 1.2 or changes the port to focus on a lower frequency. Luckily the drivers are more than capable of cranking out rumble - guess for now I'll just...

Quote:   I feel like the 1.3/2 dynamics are tuned to be flatter (while still dark), and I definitely agree with your impressions of how they open up and that initial mid-bass bloat gets much better with burn-in. My only regret is what I perceive as dramatically less sub-bass quantity in...

Quote:   This is great news! This nub was the only thing that ever made me want to remove the ASG-1.2s.

Quote:   Moving from ASG-1.2 to AS-2 I drop the volume by ~5 on my E17 to achieve the same perceived loudness. Also, Andy told me so:     Sorry, I phrased that first sentence poorly.   I'm sure they'll go out in the sale-day orders as soon as possible - who knows, there may...

Quote:   I believe I (also possibly jpmilner) have the newest AS-2 revision, or at least have the new drivers.   After having traveled, done some live engineering, and spent plenty of time on pleasure listening with them, here's a few impressions I wrote to another Head-Fier. Until my...

Quote:   I'm not sure they were planning to change port styles on the customs also.  It would disrupt the work put into the plates, and as Dale said earlier about the tuneable ASG-2s, they didn't have room for both the bass port and the ambient port.

Quote:   Indeed it does ;]     Tomorrow will be a day of listening

I had a slight delay due to something Dale and Andy caught during QC, but I just got shipping confirmation for my AS-2s!  I'll gladly offer some musician's and amateur Head-Fier impressions.  If we're lucky, maybe shotgunshane's order is sorted too, or will be shortly, so we can get some...

I'm also a drummer and I can't praise the ASG-1.2s enough.  I have used them consistently since March for daily listening, travel, monitoring, and (with slight EQ) live engineering.  I've used Shure E2cs and Future Sonics Atrios for the same applications in the past and the ASG-1.2s have...

Quote:   Are you by any chance able/inclined to share what process changes you were waiting on?  This whole rapid iteration development model sure can be stressful for some of us "latest & greatest" obsessives.
