Anyone check out the video on Aurisonics' facebook page? Kinda funny but also so true. I've been getting curious how epic the AS-2's would sound using the Smyth Realizer.

I wonder where I'll find sugru locally. The DIY tips seem worth a shot.
 
Also, I can't wait for the ASG-2 launch and the customization options for it. The chrome is really cool, but I don't know how it will look with the unpolished IEMs

I'm pretty sure unpolished means it will look like the ASG-1

Why don't they allow polished?

ASG-1's and ASG-2's are meant to be generic models of custom IEM's. They are not going to receive as much attention unfortunately as the CIEM versions will. Polishing a generic shell takes the same amount of work as a custom, so they can't bring costs down. The Chromed plates however, are all the same size so they can get them plated at the same time and lower costs for the end consumer.

I'm pretty sure they will polish the ASG-2 as well.

I was vague.  What I meant was, why don't they allow polished shells on their own without plates for the AS-2?

Just so you know, the AS series has 3 screws in their plates while the ASG has three. So, unless this changed, plates aren't transferable.

I think you mean ASG has two. Plates shouldn't be transferrable between the two.  AFAIK

Yes, that is what I meant

I would just like to state that although my previous comments have been negative, they in no way are meant to be malicious nor tarnish the excellent fidelity that I am sure the AS-2 entails.

I Still don't have a concrete opinion of my ASG-1s, and i've had them for a while!
 
I still own them though, if that is any indication. I honestly need to hear the asg-2s at this point, as I can't think of anything else in this range of non-customs that would satisfy me. The asg-1 is on the verge of being what i would consider a "permanent keeper" as far as my ideal sound goes, i just don't know. I switched over to using the tips that came with the UE200s, best i've tried so far.
 
I wish i had enough play money to give the AS-2s a shot, and finally settle it.
 
August approaches, is there any news as far as the ASG-2?
 
 
The aesthetic options look nice, but i can understand how they would be a custom-priority thing. I definitely couldn't afford to spend $100 on the chrome plates for the ASG, but it's a cool option, especially if they're a pair of phones you're going to have for a good long time.

 

[kenman345]

I remember when you ordered them, you got over 200 hours on them yet? Apparently burn in should still be affecting them if not.
 
ASG-2's seem a ways off. Not entirely sure how the large volume of orders for AS-2's affect the supply. Could be good for the BA's or it could be bad, we'll find out in the next few weeks to months. 
 
Money is well spent when you invest in something you love and plan to keep for years to come. That's why I went for aesthetic options for my AS-1's that I ordered.

Negative comments are fine, so long as there is a logical reason behind it...  

 

[kenman345]

and as long as you're following the rules of the forums.

It's understandable that their is some controversy over the pricing of the aesthetic options. That being said, not many have actually seen them first hand and I think that plays a part in it. I have had many talks with Dale about the AS-2's and he put so much into them, and he has strived to bring low costs to people where he can. I am not sure how much of a markup the options are or what his margin of profit is, but I am happy to shell out the money since I can to get them. Just from the amount of joy the AS-2's have brought me and the amount I've used them, it's worth whatever I have to pay to have them.
