A little bit of history on the 18G cable process. For a long time I was wrestling with how to get the fat 18G JenLabs Cryo wire to solder stress free to the (any) headphone solder pad. I knew if I could only get that baby in there with out ripping the delicate bits of the driver/ damaging the voice coil, it would be a real, real nice breakthrough. I use to do this fancy splice at the "y" split where the 18G would meet up with several 22G wires but never really like that because that process is tricky and very time consuming. Well with the ALO-780s I licked the problem (puzzle) and was just tonight enjoying a pair of the 18G JL cabled 780s and have to say that it was really a happy and satisfying moment for me. Until I had to package them up and send em to Steve (customer), oh well! Seriously though people who pick up a pair of these please report back to this thread, especially the 18G JL Cryoed versions.
Thanks!
Ken
