I just downloaded Audacity and installed it. So far the worse looking waveforms go to AIC's new album, Black Gives Way to Blue (2009), and Rammstein's, Reise, Reise (2004). I don't have Californication in flac yet, but I'm sure that's another awful one.

How do their 2nd and 3rd albums compare? So bad recordings can damage your music gear? That's something new to me.

1. Images and Words 2. Awake Without a doubt my favorite and most played albums from them. Here their songs seem more focused and inspired then anything else I've heard, imo. 3. Metropolis Pt 2: SFAM Pretty good overall with some stand out tracks, but tends to lose it's focus. 4. 6...

It looks tacky and cheap. Made in Taiwan? You know the Taiwanese always make good stuff...

I purchased BCASL about a week ago, listened to the first song for a couple of minutes, and then immediately put the CD back in it's case in disappointment. I didn't like SC either. Perhaps when I'm in a more curious mood I'll give it another go, but I don't expect much from them anymore. I hate...

Hmm well this is interesting. Scratch off Praises to the War Machine then, since I'm pretty sure I hear distortion with some of the lower bass, and some piercing highs that don't sound like they off a cymbal. Can't decide if there's some with distorted guitars though. How do you get those graphs...

Praises to the War Machine by Warrel Dane Thanks for Flying with Us by Mats/Morgan Band Both of these sound pristine to me.

I&W without a doubt. My first and favorite DT album.

Currently enjoying these out of my pitiful laptop jack. One thing that has been standing out to me is the vocal quality. I have a lot of music that has distorted and background vocals, and of course a lot of screaming. They're intelligible and clear. Bass goes down low and isn't over emphasized...

Quote: Originally Posted by Zombie_X WOW, it wouldn't fit? Mine fit perfectly. You could always have someone put new CA jacks in and put a new volume pot in there as well. Yeah, I couldn't believe it either but it doesn't fit. I don't have any time to mess with it, so I'll...

Well, this was a huge disappointment. I finally get the thing and can't for the life of me plug in the left rca jack. So with my frustration of trying to force the damn sucker in, I nudge the volume knob and that comes loose. Must resist urge to slam into the floor... At least I got to listen to...

Finally received my custom dt880s 600 ohms. Still waiting on my amp, so I just plugged these into my laptop jack. sa5000 were bright and thin, but these certainly aren't to my ears. They sound a lot like my dt770, in a good way.

I wonder how it plays with faster music like metal? I really like my sa5000 when it comes to metal because the double bass drum doesn't mask the midrange. I guess you could call it a thin sound? I'm wondering if the dt880 would still keep most of it's bass finesse with this amp? I would...
