Quote:   Maybe I'm very tired, and a little pedantic, but are your headphones modified to be balanced?  If not, then you don't need a balanced amp.  A balanced output (XLR, 1/4" TRS, etc...) can drive an unbalanced input (RCA, 1/8" trs, etc...) just fine.  (you can also drive a balanced...

Quote:   This is all true, which is why I stated to see if it worked.  Some, and I definitely stress the word "some," cat5 patch cables are made with a rubberized insulation with high strand counts, they're designed to be moved around while in use.  They are rare to just have randomly...

If you have any extra cat-5 network cables laying around, hack one of those open and see if the wire inside will work for you.  If it will work (in this instance it would seem that flexibility is the biggest factor), well then, my friend, you just scored some free wire.  If it doesn't, you still...

New song off an upcoming album by some Baltimore local rippers, they're called Necropsy at the moment, they're changing their name to avoid the whole legal thing.  Ages of the members range from 15 to 20.   For fans of early 90's thrashy death metal.  ...

Quote:   Ugh, this list just made me realize that every ding dong metal band that puts out an album this year will have something involving the number 13 in it, either album title or song....     Maybe 13 will get back together and play a show?  

Quote:   Didn't even know they were still putting out albums.  It's always been a shame in my eyes that there weren't more bands in this vein that were good (KMFDM, Ministry, Nailbomb, Nine Inch Nails).  Once Marilyn Manson, Orgy and Ramstein got big I knew that the chance for a good...

Quote:   Oh thank the heavens that people like you exist!  Us mud people would have never drifted away from our recordings of people banging rocks together and grunting!  Glorious days, it's as though we've leaped millenniums with this post!  Gone are our dirt dragging worm like bodies...

Quote:     Good stuff, I still through on Angst every so often.   Killer Mother ******* Depeche Mode!

pfl.

Quote:   My first suggestion would be to clean up your wiring, a good rule of thumb is keeping wires, carrying voltages with a peak to peak difference of 10 or more, at least 1 foot (30cm) apart.  A quick google search for Hong Kong wall voltage is 220VAC, your audio inputs, which we'll...

Quote:   BWI!  That's about 10 minutes from where I work, very familiar with the unpleasantness that is that pit...     About 10 years ago when I flew all the time for work, I would use these trips as an excuse to hit up small used music instrument shops and buy weird/rare effects...

Carcass - Reek Of Putrefaction

Quote:   If it was destroying headphones you would have definitely heard about it by now.  Don't know if I'd call it the best ever, but it's definitely up there.

Reek is fine as it is.  It's a raw gore grind masterpiece.  Whether the band was happy with it or not is of no consequence, once they released it to the world, it is forever that album.  It's akin to saying, "Man I wish the Mona Lisa was a little more tan and had different colored eyes."  Sure...

Quote:   Very possible, kind of like a Savoy Brown or Dead Moon, for me at least.

Quote:   Ok finally got a chance to listen, and as the trend with Voivod goes, I don't care for it, but then again, I stop listening after War And Pain and Rrroooaaarrr.  I should really stop expecting bands that put out one or two records in the beginning of their career to ever go back...

Quote:   A buddy of mine posted this on facebook last night, I'm kind of bummed about it, it's totally ripping, but the vocals are just sooooo weak!  I wish they would have done a smoother progression from black metal throat screaming to singing, maybe a nice Lemmy vocal style era?  ...

Quote:     Out of all their other albums, which would you say it's most like?  Or maybe which could be seen as a stepping stone to this album.

Quote:   Discogs, Ebay, Metal Labels websites, and when smaller bands go on tour, they will often have a chunk of their catalog for sale, sometimes even on vinyl!  You can also search out metal record stores, they're not everywhere but they exist, google will help with that one.  Chaos in...

Quote:     Love me some Onslaught, completely shreds!   How about some Blessed Death?   ETERNAL WAR!   My old band got compared to these guys (how I found out about them), so I watched a video, and it was a fat dude in a leather jacket blasting insane falsettos, I was...

Also, why hasn't Sun Ra been mentioned yet????     As well as just about anything from Geinoh Yamashirogumi, the collective that did the soundtrack for Akira.  

Quote:   Did this when I lived with 3 other people in a house once, all stereo's cranked, all coming from different bedrooms, snaking through the kitchen, hallways, and living room.  We laid in what we assumed to be the central most point, stoned out of our minds.  I don't remember much...

I never got into Machine Head, but the band they were before they changed their name and became too nu-metal for me, completely ripped, Vio-lence!   Vio-lence - Officer Nice

Quote:   I'm just goofin around, don't mind me.   Here's some thrash songs to check out:   Overkill - Deny The Cross   Hallows Eve - Lethal Tendencies   Razor - Cross Me Fool   Exodus - Bonded By Blood   Holy Moses - Life's Destroyer   Laaz...
