haha yes my man !
Hope you are enjoying the 8320's
 
Anyway - I'll be off the Aurisonics scene.
Although I can gladly  give you comparisons with the MG7's and MDT's etc.
 
The ASG-1's are what I consider special, to anything I've ever heard.
 
I just didn't get along that well with the EQ'ing and all - but ESPECIALLY after I had those pains.
It was like:
EQ'ing heavily is "bad" enough, now pains on my ears, that's another level.
Decided to post them for sale as soon as I got back.
 
Didn't EVEN have the chance...(they sold before i got un-banned) poor me
 
FYI:
people looking for soundstage, shouldn't look past the ASG-1's.
IE8's are nice...but common its like an echo in a concert hall - ASG-1's DO SOUNDTAGE brilliantly. 
 
 

So true about the soundstage and i can back that up completely!
As for the monos I'm loving them but struggling with com for and can not wear them for that long! ASG-1s to me have such a snugg comfy fit! All ears are different and i could get away with the ASG-1s as customs!

I can feel you ordering some customs from Aurisonics !

Okay, out of interest who has kept their ASG-1s and who has sold them on?

I still have them and starting to appreciate its unique sound signature more lately. I almost sold them at around 50 hours mark, but EQing and burning-in (physical & mental) worked out well. My current listening hours are divided 50/50 between ASG-1 and MG7.

they are radically different don't you find?
 
almost polar opposites.
 
soundstage wide = asg-1
soundstage narrow/muffled = mg7
 
mids lacking = mg7
mids present = asg-1
 
highs good = mg7
highs lacking = asg-1
 
speed = mg7
slower = asg-1
 
physical size being small = mg7
size being big = asg-1
 
Build quality being top notch = asg-1
build quality being OK, but not great/could be better = mg7
 
 
Only thing that they share is the lows.
sub-bass on the mg7's is king. However asg-1's do, do very well
mid-bass - both aren't too present, but both very good.
 
What is your eq with both btw?

Precisely.
 
I use ASG-1 for classical music listening and MG7 for house/rock/techno/etc.
 
ASG-1 EQ: bump up 1db - sub-bass region, reduce 3db at around 1.2K, raise 1.5db after 2k, raise 2.5db around 14k
 
M5 mg7: no EQ yet.

try adding 2-1.5db in the highs and 1-1.5db in the mids for the MG7's
 
 
And ur eq looks almost like mine for the asg-1

I find that the ASGS are quite speedy and deal with quick textured passages really quite well but then i can not compare. As for mid-bass presence i think they are also quite their. 
Agree else where.

oh they are much better than the MDT's in speed.
 
But MG7's are even better with speed.
At least I find.

I tried your technique and it opens much easier

Although, it still isn't something I would like to open and close.

That makes sense! Mg7s are sounding better and better!

They are certainly not the best - but they do a good job in certain areas.
 
Identical to the ASG-1's in that respect.

Mine are a keeper, once I upgraded the cable, they have become my favorites.

Nice a new owner has appeared! I think if their are people lurking with positive opinions they should jump in and share!

What cable have you gone too?

My ChrisHimself cable will come in first today
ASG1's ETA is next week
