Is the improvement of the vamp cable HFI 780 over the stock version apparent even without amplification (plugged straight into a LM4562 modded X-Fi)? Does it sound like you get vaguely your money's worth without amplification as well? I do plan on getting a decent amp soon (2Move, D2 or Petite maybe?), but I'll pretty much be broke after getting this.

Also, ATH AD2000 vs ALO 780 comparison?

*edit*
I might be getting the D2 (and apparently, so are you addict ). Tell me how it sounds on the ALO's, please
There is no way you will mistake the ALO modded 780 for a stock one! After 200 hours, it now sounds good plugged into anything, amped or not

So, I don't think the choice of amp on the burned-in ALO modded 780 is as important as the amp was in my stock 250 hour 780's (or with the new ALO-780's prior to burn-in).
