The modded HFI-780 sounded similar to my Edition 9 (but with less detail and refinement) and the ALO Amphora was flat out the best amp I EVER HEARD for my Edition 9. I never got the try the ALO recabled HFI-780 with the Amphora that came after the 780 were gone.
Second to that was a Travagans Red with AD743 opamps, but the gap between those two amps with the Ultrasones was noticeable. However, I did get to try the Red with the Jenna Labs cabled 780, Vampire Wire cabled 780 and APS V3 cabled 780 and it did a stand up job with them.
