This all sounds very interesting!  |
I don't think the re-cabled Edition 9 sound much different from stock. The thing I noticed most was there was a slight veil lifted from the sound, but with the stock cable they are still quite detailed and impressive. I have a stock Edition 9 and the APS V3 Edition 9, so I know what they sound like.
The HFI-780 however made DRAMATIC changes with a new cable - less sibilance, tamer smoother highs, increased transparency and soundstage, and tighter more controlled bass. While I am comfortable recommending a stock Proline 2500 to someone (knowing with 400 hours they sound like a cross between the RS-1 and HD600), anyone thinking of getting the HFI-780 I caution to include the cost of re-cabling in the price of admission.
Having said that, I love my re-cabled HFI-780 and use them frequently.
