Keeps people (like me) from scrambling back (once again) thru the posts to find which cable the poster is talking about, since it has been posted that it makes a diffenece

Thank you! <==(Choose the one that applies!)
LOL! I'm talking about the ALO-780J

What do you think....
Okay for the ones keeping up with this thread, *but* some (many?) peeps seem to jump-in near the END of long threads, and then THEY will wonder "WTF" is a 780V or 780J?

So, maybe "cryo ALO-780" or "vampire ALO-780"?

Would give more clues to noobs (to 780's) to the ALO cabling for these 780's.

This would cause mad scrambling amongst them to the ALO site to see what a "cryo" or "vampire" means, I predict -- LOL.

If not for them, V or J suits me fine, since I know what it means.

Let's hear votes!

since the title of the thread indicates what it is just vampire or jenna should do it as long as there is v or j somewhere i think we get the idea hehe

My ALO HFI-780's just came in. Out of the box, they sound pretty damn good. Will report back after the burn in.

P.S.
Great customer service from Ken

Hmmm... approximately 10 hours into burn in and the phones have started opening up already... more of the detail is coming through.. good lord! It seems the "layering" is becoming more evident..nice! Although the metallic sheen is still "kinda" there...

I'll still pretty impressed with these Vampire 780's

I have about 498 hours on them and they are so enjoyable.

I'm loving these phones! I can't take them off.. even my older jazz recordings are sounding better!!! Besides they isolate pretty darn good, well they would isolate better if I could keep the dang volume down!!

I posted that in the other thread - just subtle improments over the past 300 hours, since the first 200. A little smother and controlled, but 95% of the changes are in the first 180-200 hours.

I think your can's are burned in already I noticed just last night (my vampire cabled 780) with about 100 hours they sound just so good now, substantially better I would say. I think the changes now are subtle not major. I really think the mod makes a big difference in burn in time as my stock with same amount of time are no where near this hehehe

I have my stock still as well and compare it once in awhile. It's just sounded so good last night and today. Like a totally different can from the original stock, all what I liked but better
