My ALO-780s are starting to become untouchable for Power Metal, last night I listened the new Epica album to see how the 780s would handle the fast almost Black Metal parts and again they didn't disappoint me, almost all the headphones that I have tried so far with this album have failed during the fast parts except the 780s

Cheers

Oh yeah?!?!

Well my ALO 780 can stop a runaway car before it hits a group of school children crossing the street!

AAAHHHHH! -- I couldn't stand it any more -- all you peeps liking your ALO-780's finally broke my resistance!

My stock 780 just now sounded so good, checking to see how the burn-in was going, that I also just now ordered the Jena cryo 780...

My wallet hates ALL of you -- but you're still my friends, in spite of what my wallet says (it's saying some mean stuff right now, between sobs...so pathetic...)

Are you getting a completely new alo mod or are you having your stock version modded? Curiious to see if you will be able to compare the 2 as I did

Welcome to the mod squad! hehehe hmmm did I say that? sounds catchy huh ...

I'm still keeping the stock 780 for now.

I bought the $595 Jena cryo 780 package that includes new 780's.

After the stock and ALO's both complete burn-in, the loser will go to the FS forum here....

Or, maybe I'll just keep both. Will decide later.

I might be interested in either of them when you have a loser. The JL ones for a friend, or the stock ones for my son. Did you do a 1/4" jack with the JL, and what length did you use?
