Me too. The ALO-780J is a keeper, despite my current collection of headphones, and the that that I have an ED9 and another ED9 on the way. One can always checked my profile to see what I have to-date.
Whether the HFI-780 is a mid-tier or higher tier headphone is something to be debated. Price wise, yes, it is mid-tier pricing. But soncially even without the modification and recabling it is worth more than the price. The fact that it is made in Taiwan, instead of Germany, may be one reason why the manufacturer can offer attractive pricing. But let's don't be fooled - it has many of the attributes of its bigger brother and the ALO modification and recabling just bring it one or two step closer to ED9.
