Are the 780's fully burned in yet?Or are they still changing?

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

I think I read in another post that you would be in that period .I haven't listened to mine for over 197 hrs.I plan on listening to them again in a few days.

I just visited the ALO site, and the 780 mods are no longer listed.

Anybody know why?
