Just received my fifth Edition 9 (and last?). This one I had modified by Ken at ALO with a 22G JenaLabs Cryo and ALO Silver 22G hybrid. The silver wire s thicker in diameter than the 22G JenaLab's jacket accordig to Ken. With some break in they'll sound super I hope.

As for the quintuplets clockwise

1. Edition 9 (No. 629)ALO Cable described above
2. Edition 9 (No. 1043) stock
3. Edition 9 (No. 1036) with Balanced XLR and Silver Dragon
4. Edition 9 (No. 604) with Silver Dragon and Furutech interconnect (4 feet).5. Edition 9 (No. 1013)with Silver Dragon and Furutech interconnect (10 feet)

Does it have an 1/8" to 1/4" on it?

The ALO has a 1/8. The Furutech's are 1/4. I use the ALO Cryo adapter for 1/4 to 1/8 interconnects.

 

[kelvinz]

so which combo do you listen to most?

 

[vcoheda]

that's some major Ed.9 OCD

 

[BigEat]

Actually I probably listen to the Balanced with the RS B-52 and I use the 4 foot silver dragons with my iQube. The iQube and the Edition 9's are a great match IMO.

Fair point. I've always liked the Edition 9. I got the Balanced first I think and I love it with the RS. Interestingly, IMO the Edition 9 really changes color depending on the recabling. More so, than for example my Denon 5000's or the K701's just to name a couple. I find that fascinating and it makes it more capable of being "matched" to a partiular portable or home amplifier.

For example, the Silver Cables with Furutech interconnect work great with the RS XP-7. Fare more expanive than stock and thus far, different from the ALO Cryos.

And, of course, I just like them.

Crazy collection man!

I'd like to see some more pictures without the boxes. That sure would be puurdy.

I thought I was nuts! At least you know what you like, and that's always a good thing.

That was supposed to be "Love Potion #9", not "Edition 9". You took the wrong potion and instead of having 5 different girlfriends, you have 5 diferrent Ultrasones.

How long did they say the potion would last before wearing off.

I have a hard enough time deciding what shirt to wear each day. I couldn't imagine having to pick which af the Quintuplets are the flavor for the listening session.

 

[Sovkiller]

You beat me only by three of them....OMG, and I thought I was nuts!!! That is what I call loyalty and dedication,. if you love them why having another person around...

Only you could come up with that, Aaron! You sure area strange bird... but that's Ok, some of us "get it" and chuckle for a while.

 

[immtbiker]

If it gives only a small group of people a bit of a chuckle, then my work was worth it.

 

[BigEat]

Now that's classic guys. I suppose I did take the wrong potion. I have developed quite an affection for the damn things.

I've noticed some interesting subtleties in the production line though. The early production models do not have as "tight" a headband adjustment. The chrome finish seems brighter on the earlier versions etc.
