I tell people, like I told Jamato8 in PM, to get the Edition 9 if one can afford them, but if money is an issue the 18G JL Cryo 780 is a great alternative.
Like I said, the modded 780 don't replace the Edition 9, they compliment them. So the Edition 9 stay, but get used less. My re-cabled RS-2 and HF-1 sound close to the HP-1000, but I can't seem to bring myself to sell those HP-2 either
At one point I considered selling them to buy a Zana Deux, but that's like selling the needle to buy the thread.

If you ever get the chance check out the Yamamoto HA-02 amp with the UE9. I am sure that the Zana is more powerful and better for more headphones but for the UE9/780 I wonder.
Ken, by any chance have you built an HFI-780 w/ the 18 gauge Jenna Labs Cryo Wires covered in a black techflex or cotton cover? If yes could you post a couple of pictures. Thanks.

Hey Mararroyo,
I have not had that request, yet. But I will post it when that comes up.
Thanks
Ken

The Jenna Labs cable is "smooth like baby's butt" soft enough, and flexible enough (can roll into 3" coil without kinks) that you might like it uncovered better.

I ordered a HFI-780 set with vampire wires covered in a tec-flex a couple days ago.They should look the same.
