Your headphone sounds just right for you as well so don't sweat it.

These headphones will surely become the best friend of Prog Rock & Metal in general

I'll let you know more of my impressions later..

Cheers

And they will only get better with burn in!

Yeah these are totally great for rock and I been hearing a lot of electronic lately as well and it sounds totally great!

Do you think they would sound decent with 'acoustic' type performances, (well more or less jazz, classical)?

I listen to a lot of jazz, instrumental, oriental and classical music and I think the ALO-780 does these very well.

With no burn in the shrillness in the upper end is tamed and it's smoother. So now I will burn it in but I am already happy with it, so anything better is like way cool to me!

Does your Vampire cable look much different from the Jenna cable in the picture? Is so is different could you provide a picture of you headphone?

Thanks, here are pictures on mind where I am using them:

How much for the balanced version?

[slwiser]

The only different would be in the connector end. They are now four wired to each driver so the right connector would be simple to implement. The only problem is if Ken has a balanced amp or not to test the results to verify proper operation.
