Thumbs up Favorite Track on Klipsch IE's

Okay old and new Klipsch fans... I want to know what tracks sound best on your new Klipsch Headphones?

What set up are you using?

Where do you usually listen to your headphones?

Thanks!

When I finally figured out which ear tips works best for me (not Klipsch's unfortunetly) I was listening to a cue called "Is Ten Too Old?" from the soundtrack to a film called Island in the Stream composed by Jerry Goldsmith in 1977. The Klipsch Custom 3s really came to life and made that cue sound amazing. Its sounded almost live!

I was listening on a Microsoft Zune and the music was encoded in the WMA Lossless Audio format
I primarily listen to my Custom 3s in a movie projection booth.

Breath by Breaking Benjamin on Image. They really deliver the guitar crunch. I can't listen to that CD on anything else now.

Zen -> Image
Zen -> iBasso D2 -> Image
PC -> iBasso D2 -> Image
PC -> Little Dot 3 -> Image

Thumbs up

I've been listening to Roger Waters - In the Flesh Live DVD lately. I extracted the audio from the DVD and turned them into MP3 files which I then copied to my IPOD. I am using the Custom 3s with Comply standard tips which are not made for the Klipsch Custom 3s but I find them to have the best seal and comfort for me. I use the Graham Slee Voyager amp connected via an ALO Cryo LOD. This DVD sounds great with this setup. This is a great concert DVD and I highly recommend it to Roger Waters fans.

Mahler's 5th Symphony. Images through 5.5g Imod, Predator amp, jumbo cryo dock and portable v-cap. Soundstage not only left/right but front/rear as well. Can discern first violin section from second, and tympani is right where it's supposed to be--back of stage mid right to right.

Listen on boat anchored on lake sipping martinis. Or on condo deck overlooking lake sipping martinis. Where else is there to enjoy Mahler/??

Have you heard David Gilmour "Remember That Night' live at Royal Albert Hall? I have it on BluRay and you would probably like it. Only wish they featured Sinead O'Connor on Comfortably Numb instead of David Bowie. I like Bowie a lot but not singing this song. Have you heard Sinead sing Mother w/Pink Floyd? She's very good at it.

I can't say it's a track per se but definitely listening to Joy Divisions box set through my iPhone fed through a Tomahawk and with a pair of Custom-2s. AMAZING. That and a lot of jazz seems to play really nicely with the Custom-2s.

the best track for me is massive attack's 'angel', closely followed (at the moment) by kings of leon's 'on call'. both because of the fizzy bass power, which is a physical sensation like sherbet almost (strange but that's how i experience it)
