didn't Dale say there will be aesthetic options for the ASG-1? Other than the 1.2 revision, what else is being updated for the ASG-1? I just hope with the new IEMs coming out that the ASG-1 won't be left aside...

guys, my cable is starting to green, looks old and dirty now. Whats the best way to clean it? or is there a good aftermarket cable that pairs well with the ASG-1?

I would describe the Um3x in very similar way as you. Its not the best iem out there but for some reason, you just feel satisfied because everything is there. It delivers the full package. Quote:    

yes that was what i meant haha, neutral setting considered by Swans manual. But im getting good results at 12oclock and controlling the rest with my DAC.   Quote:  

yeah i believe 12oclock is the most neutral setting on it in my opinion.   Quote:  

haha.. hard question actually.. both are have their advantages i like both for what they are. I tend to strive more on soundstage which asg-1 is able to give compared to um3x. But um3x are one of the most intimate phones i've ever heard...   Quote:  

yeah not really... the size is kinda small to fit asg and dap but too big for just the asg-1 in my pocket. Really liked the clamshell from westone when i had my um3x so the vault should be a good choice for my needs.   Quote:  

yeah i switched it off now. Basically the sound has become what i wanted it to be.   Quote:  

Reviews for the D2 is quite rare for some reason. Maybe try looking into the Grant Fidelity Tube-DAC11, its popularity is starting to begin on headfi with numerous reviews. You will definitely like it with your setup.   Quote:  

I leave both dials at 12oclock and volume at 9oclock. The rest is controlled through my dac/amp.   Quote:  

the shoutiness are now gone for me...i guess burn in does make a huge difference on the ASG-1. The usual EQ setting i had on J3 barely makes a difference now.   Quote:  

thanks blaine... i might settle on this case now... looks really good.. thanks   Quote:  

yeah i don't like that annoying memory effect on the EPIC cables so the ASG-1 stock cable is much better in this aspect. One thing i don't like about it is its slightly long for daily use, and the the memory wire tube part is longer than usual. I hope there will be more selection in customizing...

what was the solution?   Quote:  

thanks, i'll await your post. Cheers   Quote:  

Right now not as deep as what I experienced with my um3x and silver dragon. The bass feeling went straight to my chest rather than thumping in my ears, it was very pleasing haha Right now the ASG-1 gives me much more sub bass compared to my old setup but i'm not getting that chest pounding...

tighter bass is good but what im really craving for is DEEPER bass. The bass on ASG-1 is nice and plentiful but its just not as deep as i thought, i know the Moon Audio Silver Dragon will be able to yield this result but don't want to deal with aftermarket cables anymore, i prefer the...

Dang... you guys are fast haha. Thanks... I tried the Z02, tho its fun but its earth shattering for me... a bit too much for me haha.  Thanks eke2k6, please do let me know. I'm glad the E1 makes a slight difference, hope the E5 will be a bit more.   Quote: Quote: Quote:  

okay I do feel that the ASG-1 will benefit from amping. I am currently using the ASG-1 with the J3 EQ and it does sound nice but does seem to lack a bit of dynamic for some reason. I've paired numerous portable amps with J3 before when i had my Um3x but thought it was unnecessary since the...

great review, i was actually looking for a new case to store my ASG-1, i actually really like the Westone Clamshell size and versatility but the protection to it is questionable. I was wondering if you can give me the exact size of the monitor vault or maybe even compare it side by side with the...

kunlun, can you please pm me as well, Wondering if it can be shipped to Canada?   Thanks   Quote:  

the silver dragon does yield a huge a difference with different iems, last time i tried it on the um3x, got better much deeper bass and wider soundstage. I know it will do wonders on the asg-1 but one thing to complain is that it sort of tangles and stiffens in a weird way.   Quote:  

where can i get some of these filters?? are they for sale yet or anyway to get them beforehand?   Quote:  

Supertips lean towards the tight side but since its stretchy, i was able to get it on with a good fit. Not sure about the M11   Quote:  

yeah I wanna know too. The Mullard ecc88 is quite expensive. Thinking of either JJ ECC88 Gold, Electro-Harmonix 6922 Gold or JAN-Philips 6922 Low Noise. All 3 are relatively same price, anyone can share their insight between them?   Quote:
