Put me on the AS-1b train, and Dale has been a pleasure to communicate with.

Oh I'm not going to get anything right now, I'm defiantly gonna to what for the reviews. The only reason I'm getting my TF10's re-shelled is because I want the UM driver upgrade so if not for that I wouldn't do it. I'm kinda on the fence with customs because after a few years they don't fit because your ears are always changing and I have never had any fit or comfort problems with IEM's, I mean my TF10's fit great I just want the driver upgrade.
I've also got an order in for the AS1-b, which is the version with a tunable ambient port and separate tunable bass port.
I received my impression kit earlier this week, and have already made impressions and mailed them back. Aurisonics should receive them next week, which means hopefully I'll get the finished product 2-3 weeks after that.
Customer service has been excellent. I've been speaking with Dale Lott, president/CEO of Aurisonics. He is very helpful and seems to know his stuff when it comes to IEMs. The product is somewhat unique so I'm very eager to hear it. Dale mentioned that they are becoming a sponsor here at HeadFi in the near future.
I've got a fun project planned for this review: a pair of the ASG-1 universal fit IEMs, to be sent around for others on the forum to hear. I'll start the proper thread about it when the time is right - first need to hear them and determine how close they sound to the custom version.

Cool! Between you, me, and Kunlun, three very different but experienced perspectives.
Jiff: I'll gladly include you on the ASG-1 loaner program if you are still interested in about a month or so. I'm not really starting a list right now (please, no PMs about it!) but just throwing that out there. I've done similar with DAC and amp units, and it has gone well, but an IEM is even better because it is so cheap to ship.
Great! Kunlun will be able to compare the AS-1 with the MG6pro, and you can compare the AS-1b with ... half of everything else on the planet.
Customer service has been good so far. I emailed them late this morning around 2am, and had a response when I woke up.

When the time is right I would be interested in hearing the demo for a few days to see how it compares with the real thing for perspective. I have yet to hear a demo that sounds as good as the real thing, or even more than about 80% of the real thing.
Aurisonics needs their own loaner/demo program, I would certainly pay a deposit and maybe up to $50 to live with the ASG-1 for a week or two to see if it is the sound signature I'm looking for before plunking down $599 for the AS-1B that I really want.
If one was to purchase the AS-1 after the demo period, there should really be no charge or only minimal shipping charges for the demo.
I would be happy to be the first one to sign up!!!
