Ultrasone HFI-780 recable, ALO vs Moon Audio

[.coco]

I am interested in getting an Ultrasone HFI-780 and doing a recable. The reviews are very appealing to me. However, I am pretty confused as to the difference between the different recables. I have narrowed it down to ALO or Moon Audio, but after a bit more looking, I see that the ALO has an all together different cable setup. It looks like the cables run directly into both drivers separately, while all others, including Moon Audio, just plug into headphones like the stock cable. Is there a performance difference between the two different setups? Does the ALO style actually give a benefit, or is it just for fancy factor?


Oh, by the way, if you are selling a HFI-780, let me know

ill go with the unplugable cables. so it can easily be replaced. check out the fs forum. someone is selling recabled ultrasone one from alo one is done by someone from the community. a question though, why not try one with the original cables? i mean that way youll know if u are really looking for improvement.

I am looking to buy a stock one first, they seem to be pretty cheap used so that is cool. Unfortunately they go really quick in the FS section lol

Drew does split-entry. This is one can that benefits greatly from a re-cable. I liked them stock, but the recable takes them to a new level.
