KMFDM+Japanese rock band Buck-Tick.   Excellent stuff. The remix album by oldtimers like Ken Ishii et al is a thing to behold as well. Personal favorites are My Sanctuary; Lard, lips, liquor.  

  Japanese metal. Powerful and inventive stuff. Managed to capture the desperate tone after last year's events.

Hear hear, ianmedium. As a sidenote to my (positive) initial impressions of the Silver poison ("mark II"):           Obviously and as told by its maker, this "ferret" plays a part in the final sound quality, but... If you fear this part is going to be as annoying to you than...

  A soundtrack to the end of times. Good bye, Mr. Bashung.

    Oh well, now that sounded like a commercial! Let's see now...   I just got my LCD-2's fresh from repair (btw: thank you Alo Audio, what an awesome service! It took exactly one week to send back the cans from UK to USA and get a replacement pair shipped back, for free!)... and thus...

Hi! Just got the new Silver Poison (6ft). I cannot comment on the sound yet as my lcd-2's are under repairs, but the flexibility on the cable is excellent, it's far less stiff than the stock one. the last 20 cm or so (from the divide to the left/right plugs) are very thin cables covered...

Thanks for your answer anyway. I guess I'll give the silver poison a try :) I will assume that if the stock cable is already made of copper, it doesn't make much sense changing for another copper one for 75 gbp (judging by this comment, perhaps you can guess that I'm completely new to the...

Quote: Sorry to come this late, just got my lcd-2's ;) Try versions by Leonard Bernstein or Bruno Walter. Others are usually too "fast", at least for my taste.       ps: thank you for this thread... a real goldmine.

Quote:   It worked on me at least! ianmedium> I'm thinking about ordering some toxic cables thanks to your toxico-viral scheme :D Is the OCC silver/gold (150gbp) a very big improvement over the SPC copper/silver (75 gbp) cable? If I read you correctly, the later did'nt improve the...

Pink Floyd - Meddle  

>>Sinocelt:   Slightly off topic:   Je suis confuse = I'm so sorry . Kind of an old expression. +the speaker is a girl. :)     PS: I'm french.   Keep up the good work, amazing topic :)

Anton Bruckner - Symphony no 5 (Jochum)  

  Godspeed you! Black Emperor - Lift your skinny fists like antennas to heaven

Faure - Requiem.   This direction by Giulini is the first I ever heard... very slow and thorough... I love it.  

Mahler - Symphony no 1 (Bernstein)  

Sibelius - Kullervo  

Alain Bashung - Novice   (French songs back from the eighties... I love the synths on this album)  

Dir en Grey - Dum Spiro Spero.   Strong stuff, far better produced than their previous offerings imho.  

  Leonard Cohen - Old Ideas (out 1/31! streaming here)   He got back to "real" instruments, it really shows. Very nice!
