Woww ! Looks like i have returned to the forums at a good time.
 
I have been patiently waiting months for news on the ASG-2 release & it would seem it delivers everything & more I had hoped from the original ASG1. I am so excited & just can't wait to get them in my ears. Maybe at last my long search will be over for THAT IEM.
 
Having bought the original, I found the sound signature not liking to my taste but believed Aurisonics had the potential to make it into lot more.
I skipped the 1.2 upgrade because of the expenses involved in shipping from UK & also the highs were still not addressed. I must have spent an extra $100+ to get them delivered to UK (delivery + duty tax) & really couldn't afford to do that again.
 
 
I'm now patiently awaiting for the official word on upgrade path from ASG1 to ASG2 & pricing.
 
 
I hope Dale of Aurisonics will be able to do something for us poor Europeans so we don't have to pay ludicrous prices to USPS for delivery ($50+) & duty tax again ($50+ in uk). Maybe if upgrades are declared as repairs than duty tax will not apply. Please help us out Dale & congratulations to you on creating something VERY special.

Have any possessors of ASG2's tried out Trance tracks ?
Has the sparkle been upped enough to satisfy this genre ?

Haha, surely you have to be a gentle man and hand them over
 
Swear you had them up for sale? Or are you keeping them now?

 
Hah, yep. She's a brat; she usually gets what she wants
 
Yeah, I did put them up, but decided I didn't want to sell them after my girlfriend liked them so much. Besides, it isn't long now until the AS-2 comes out

....don't know how it compares to the ASG-1's, but the AS-2's I got (which are final release model apparently) are wonderful with anything you can think of. But Trance is definitely amazing to hear. I've definitely been lost to the world a few times, thank god Trance songs eventually end.

Wow, i'm super excited for the release of AS-2's. They sound absolutely wonderful. But seriously wondering how much the price and upgrade cost would come out to ><

Well it is Dale, he'll be reasonable with the pricing.

+1 Remember one of Aurisonics' goals is to make things good, but also affordable (or as affordable as they can ). In other words, they aren't the company that will squeeze you for every penny you have (Monster, AKG, etc.), they want to leave some pennies for next time

With ASG-1 mids please

of course without the shoutiness.

I'm as big a DBA fan as you'll find.  Unlike many, I wouldn't consider them treble happy phones, though.. why?  Because I've had them reshelled & with a custom fit, they sound impeccably balanced & not overly bright in anyway.  My love for their crisp, detailed response is why I was looking into getting them reshelled (again) with another driver or two to handle the low end.. until the AS-2 came along. Like I said.  Dale achieved the type of signature I was looking to create : DBA-02 & CK10.. on steroids.. with subs.

I thought 1.2 ridded of the excess shoutiness...

^I'm just being precise to what I want with the mids

I felt the need to comment on this again. I took a listen to some trance songs today with the AS-2's and I wanted to try and give you a bit of a better response.

Trance songs are lots of fun to listen to with the AS-2's in. I found it a great joy to hear many nuances in songs that I know I didn't hear before with other IEM's or setups. The soundstage, as mentioned in the past, is quite open and wide. so it allowed for some great listening with the trance songs I have and the bass on some of the songs I have was punchy and lively, yet not overwhelming to the rest of the spectrum in those moments of the song.
 
The AS-2's got some amazing speed and they literally handle everything well that i've thrown at it. The only thing that sounds bad is really low quality audio files. I have found that I have turned my back on anything lower than 192kbps and prefer 320kbps or lossless files when I can since the higher quality the audio stream, the better the AS-2's perform and the better imaging and soundstage you get.

I know its a bit in the past now with all the updates but I have just received Some filters from my 1.1!

The cables above the Y-split are oxidizing in my pair, yet the cable below the Y-split is still good as new. Can anyone explain why?

It's natural for cables to oxidize...  You'll be fine.
