My opinions Sound The sound produced by the HD558 is rich, a bit light, and isn't bloated with bass which is a good thing. It has a crisp treble and punchy bass, very great...

I'm not really the biggest fan of this kind of music, but this song sounds really good:
And, if you can get your hands on a cd of this, the whole album is incredible:
Also, Dire straights and brother in arms by the dire straits are amazing as well.

Quote:I recently did just that. I listened to The Nightfly and then Morph the Cat. While I enjoyed both of these recordings, acoustically/sonically The Nightfly is not in the same class as the later two.

also lots of sub-bass in this song, a good listen with the LCD-2!

Okay this one is just about stupid good. Chris Cornell: Songbook. The whole dang album. For those who don't know, this guy was the former front man for Soundgarden. This album is a collection of acoustic stuff from a few concert in 2011. Man can this guy rock the mic.

The recording is phenomenal for vocals. Check it out...I heard him do a solo 'Black Hole Sun' on Howard Stern's radio show and it was spellbinding. That being said, does everybody have to embed a youtube link in their post? It takes so long for the pages to load...

I like the embedded links, almost instant gratification. Pro Tip: almost every browser nowadays offers a flash-blocking plugin (in Firefox, the obviously-named Flashblock). Not only does it block flash-based ads (which other ad-blocker may not catch), but it generally speeds up browsing (incl. these pages) by replacing Flash embeds with a play button rather than the actual Flash code, so just hit play to open only the latest one(s)... then you have to click one extra time in the now-displayed Flash frame to actually play the video, but I can live with that
