I thought I saw this thread before, but I can't seem to find it... if this is a rehash (which I know it is), feel free to point me in the right direction.
My question is how close the ALO Modded Ultrasone HFI 780's come to the Edition 9's. I was just poking around with my old HFI 700's (which I thought were the greatest thing I ever heard until I really broke open the piggy bank
) and I realized that I LOVE the Ultrasone sound signature. The HFI 700's certainly don't sound great anymore since I've heard Darths, Denons, Senns, and whatnot, but there is something about the sound of the Ultrasones that I still love.
So, assuming that the Edition 9's carry that sound signature forward with much greater fidelity, and assuming that there's no way I can afford Edition 9's right now, I am curious to know whether the modded 780's really are just a hair off the Ed 9's in terms of SQ as some have claimed, or whether I'm better off saving up for the Ed 9's. (I'd rather not get the 780's only to trade up in the future.)
Thoughts?
Thanks
Ira
