Just 24 hours after the previous (shocked) post above, I again picked up my ALO-780J during burn-in, and they sounded so good (!) THIS time, that I just left them on, and put on one of my best female vocal CD's (that also has lots of dynamic range in the music, along with the good vocals.
To make a long story short, during the first two tracks, I had tears in my eyes -- needed to wipe them at least 4-5 times -- the vocals sounded like the voice of an angel, and the music was out-of-this world! I never heard this CD sound this good before, with ANY of my cans -- including my stock 780's or any of my other very good cans. I guess I had one of those famous "eargasms" mentioned here on Head-Fi.
I only rarely get so moved by a piece of music, but I sure did yesterday.
Getting teary-eyed again as I type this, remembering! As an ex-musician, songwriter and composer, I know great music when I hear it.
Damn, these are good cans! There, I said it.
If these can actually get any better during more burn-in....wow!
