Could you guys recommend some songs/tunes which highlight some of the benchmarks for high end headphones? Things like separation, soundstage, etc?

Kurt Elling's song "Undun"

I've heard people speak of Amber Rubarth, but I've never heard any of her recordings.
I just listened to "Full Moon In Paris" MBP>PWDll>KGST>009 and it sounded like I was listening to a binaural recording…excellent recommendation. I must say I was looking around the room at some points for something thats how "out of my head" it sounded. I'll be sampling/downloading this Artist and more from Chesky Records from HDtracks.
Thanks!

It sounded like a binaural recording because it IS a binaural recording... and I agree, it is GREAT!
 
Computer Audiophile has a bit of technical data on the recording here.

LOL!
No wonder why it sounded like a binaural recording. 

 
Thanks for the link on the technical data.
 
So being this was a binaural recording, can it really count for using to judge your system as compared to a regular recording? I would think not, bit that doesn't change the way I feel about how it sounded.

"Scribbled Folk Symphonies" is Amber Rubarth's latest release... also available in binaural high resolution from HD Tracks.  For a while, there was a discount code listed on head-fi.org's first page (where all the tiles of various happenings like headphone meets and specials on some products are listed).  Go back in time.

Thank you, I'm going to check it out.

No disrespect intended, but that tune "full moon in paris", sounds like nails on a chalkboard to me.
 
Would the Eagle's "Hell Freezes Over", be a good bed to experience these headphones?
 
Cheers

Really?
What makes you say this?
What does your system consist of…you don't have anything in your profile to see.

I'm running off a MacBook. Technically the "soudstage" and binaural aspects of the audio came through just fine. I'm merely complaining about the voice, tune and the constant repetition of the title of the song. (different taste i suppose).

Thought you meant the recording itself.

I bought grado G cushion to increase comfort with my grado sr225e however like lots of you said the sound changed to kinda worse (less full).
I have gotten used to L cush now but i don't want my G cush purchase go to waste
Will washing it make pads softer and closer to the driver?!

You could use the G cush as part of a SennGrado or other type of build where they might be designed with G cush to begin with.

Hmm..i guess i will keep them for future modding.

yes but not enough

Any idea how to properly wash them?!
Keep them on shampoo and water solution for 15min or just keep pressing on them for 2-3min(on water+ shampoo)?
