Ken, if you don't mind, what amp do you use with these K701s?

It's frustrating being on business travel this week, knowing that back at the office I have an unopened box on my desk containing the ALO JL18 710's!

I find it best to buy used and save some cash. Oh and BTW there is a pair on sale from a very nice member (sorry Ken but you know where the cash is going to end up anyway )

The same cable on the ALO 780's has worked well for me. Some have termed it too inflexible, but it's flexible enough for my application (an office system with 2 amps), and easy to coil. Between the cable and the Furutech plug, much more substantial than the stock cable and plug (which i took issue of on the stock K701's when I first received them). Since I still have my stock 701's, I'm looking forward to being able to do a decent comparison between stock and ALO-mod'd.

Ken has indicated that he won't be mod'ing used cans; only supplying as a mod with new 701's that he sells.
