Ultrasone Edition 9 Mods and Re Cable

[Akabeth]

Hey Ken, thanks for everything
The cabling work is outstanding.

I got the Ed9's and interconnects on Friday afternoon. There's one thing I would like to mention though. When I signed off the package, I had to catch a bus back to my place and the whole way I just sat there pondering, "is there even a headphone inside this box?" I never thought all the stuff inside weigh in at 4lbs 9ounce!!!111

[To avoid writing an essay]: As a first impression, I must admit that this headphone is "unique" in terms of music presentation. NOW I know why "There's something about Ultrasones..." My brain has no-need of the "mental" burn-in, it's tuned for the Edition 9!

Hi Akabeth,

Yes the E9s come with a metal clad foam lined carrying case, so yeah the box is kind of heavy. Cool yeah I trust you will enjoy these for a long long time and remember these will continue to improve over to about 400 hours or so.

Cheers

For the burn in adverse people! Fear not!!

I want people to know that ALO offers to get your ALO modded headphone/s a jump start on the burn in process. I use a Hagerman Audio Frydaddy audiophile burn in generator that uses a electronic waveform, a combination of wide band noise and variable frequency modulation to not only burn in the cable but also working the driver to exercise and moving bits to break them in. Jim has built this particular generator for not only burning in cables but also with settings that are specifically output for phonostages and amplifiers. A 2 or 3 day session on the Frydaddy and the headphone and cable are much more relaxed and enjoyable. This service is for free when you buy a headphone or cable, just ask when you buy. Keep in mind I only have one frydaddy so there may be a slight que for the device. But I just wanted all to know that I do have this free service for my customers. A 3 day run on the device is very nice.

Thank you

Ken

Nice service,,,about time someone provided this.

You should also provide this to those who have cables and headphones for a price and under a schedule.

Hey Steve,

I would be into providing this if that was something that people really wanted and had a demand, I could pick up a few more units from Jim.

Thanks
