Thanks for the pics Wrecked. Okay, I finally got around to opening up my cans. Visually, there's nothing wrong with them: All the connections are soldered on correctly and the cables look fine. Any suggestions?

Thanks khb, I'll take a peek inside. Quote: Originally Posted by wrecked_porsche ^ LoL, you are indeed evil Fitz.. Care to elaborate? You've got me curious.

I just started having an issue with my (stock) cable. Basically, it's just become loose and the sound cuts out in the left driver. The only way to restore the sound is to physically hold the cable and press it into the casing; but it won't stay in place by itself and has to be manually held...

Whoever it was that suggested I get Cynic - Focus (Dusty Chalk?): You've put another CD in my top ten. Everyone should buy this immediately.

If you order more than four CDs at a time from The End I suggest you ask for packaging; the cases seem to have a nasty habbit of cracking while in transit.

Things I currently have on the way: Impaled Nazarene - Ugra Karma Cynic - Focus In Flames - Lunar Strain and Subterranean (Yeah, yeah...no comments, please.) Incantation - Diabolical Conquest

Quote: Originally posted by KR... Some of you have a weird idea of what death metal is I have to agree with KR on that. Look into: Morpheus Descends - Ritual of Infinity Therion - Beyond Sanctorum, Symphony Masses Deicide - Legion Morbid Angel - Blessed are the Sick...

I use CD3k's with the 541, and it can get excessively bright, depending on what's being played.

Quote: Originally posted by DarkAngel I still have no clue what you are looking for............what does the term "technical" describe when referring to music? They play difficult ****. Is that clear enough?

Quote: Originally posted by KR... Most of the "technical" bands out there are power, Neo-Classical, and Progressive metal bands. There are some "technical" extreme bands, but they are harder to find. I realize that--that's why "dark" is in quotes.

Thanks for the suggestions everyone. Now, to elaborate a little on "technical". I was referring to musicianship rather than production quality (although if the two exist on the same album, that's even better). I'm in the process of downloading these recommendations, and so far, the thing that...
