My brother in law, like me, is a big fan of metal music. He listens to it all the time, he travels very long distances to attend concerts, and he spent a pile of money on a huge drumset with two bass drums.
His mother (with whom he lives) has a really good stereo system - PMC speakers, Sunfire preamp, and a good power amp whose name escapes me, plus designer ICs and speaker cables.
I visited them on the weekend, and my bro in law had connected his iPod (with the bass cranked up) to the phono stage of the preamp, and then had gone on to turn the bass down to minimum on the preamp, and he was happily listening to this! When I came in, I thought it sounded like listening to a showoff car stereo from outside the car! I reconnected the iPod to the AUX input, turned off all the EQ, and all of a sudden it sounded like music. What did my bro in law say to me? "I kind of liked it better before."
