Hey guys, what's a fair price for a pair of ASG 2.0's nowadays? Thanks

 

[jmills8]

Its great for bass, edm and rock. It needs a good cable. 300.

300 to 350 they are hard to find extremely hard to get

Having heard Dunu DK-3001 and HiFiMAN RE-800, there are many good alternatives at this date with really great soundstage and instrument separation!

After experiencing different things other than iems and revisit previous things for the entire month , I now got a clearer view about other alternatives ..
Still , the ASG 2.5 still hold the number 1 in my collection .

I demoed voth of those various times. Bass? 2.5 , mids 20s and 2.5 , treble vegas. Put a great cable on the 2.5 with a good amp/dac and over all the 2.5 beats them.

The ASG 2.5 is a class of its own .

Labkable Pandora is one of the most matched cable for the asg 2.5.
The cable doesnt sound smooth with some treble peak here and there. The bass is not the tightest, but still ok.
But the soundstage,separation and the Mid are to die for.
These asg 2.5 (2nd hand)are the best bang for the bug ever in my 10 head-fi years (180$). With this set up (DX200+pandora) , I've found I like the asg 2.5 more than U12 and Shure846 (use 2 pin to mmcx adapter)

2.5 with a stronger amp and better dac will make the 2.5 shine. Ifi Black, Hugo or Arrow amp are the way to go.

I lately rediscovered my love for the 2.5 - feeling like a teen again who fells in love for the very first time Needed to do some small tweeking to the high end (lowering peak at 9.3k) and this IEM shines so much. Thunderous subbass, beautiful full mids and now quite nice smooth highs. Well, I stopped looking for an other universal IEM (for now ).
