Your Vampire cable in the long run may be easier to live with. The Jenna 18g wire is a bit heavier and a little stiffer I would think. Thanks for the image.

Update since there have been no other posts since I posted the above.

After having the ALO modified HFI-780 with Jenna 18 g cables over the weekend I am really enjoying the music these are giving me. Very smooth, precise and detailed at the same time. This is one re-cable job/modification worth having. Your mileage may vary with either the Jenna cable or the Vampire but either one I am sure adds something to this headphone with Ken's modifications added to the mix.

Thanks Ken

Second update:

Here is my setup at my Easy Chair: Squeezebox 3 ---> Lavry DA10---> Yamamoto HA-02---> ALO-HFI-780J there is a ALO Auricap iMod docking station just behind the headphones. The Yamamoto HA-02 has a two input switch. I really am enjoying the sound of this setup. BTW, my stock HFI-780 was well broken in before sending it off for the modifications.
