If anyone caught my posts in the HFI-780 thread, you know I really don't like this headphone at all, and the one I heard already had a minimum of 100 hrs on it, and if the first owners reports were true, it had more than 200. I listened to Ken's recabled pair at CanJam this weekend, and although, the 780s aren't for me, I will admit that his mods corrected the shrilly highs, and took out some of the graininess: much smoother, more balanced presentation. I think these are either a love 'em or hate 'em type of can, but if you're in the love 'em camp, I think Ken did an impressive job making significant improvements. Had to say it.
BTW, Ken is a really nice guy. Had to add that in as well.
