Led Zeppelin - The Immigrant Song

Even some loudspeakers have problems with this one. No headphone I have heard has done this one right.

The Dark Knight OST - Like a Dog Chasing Cars

The hardest track for cans I've ever heard.



Oh okay, so it wasn't just my below-par audio system...

Well, I think The Postal Service's Such Great Heights has this synth'd bass note ( the introductory note) that just sounds god awful in everything I own..it literally sounds like a fart can and I don't understand why something that awful/distracting would have made it to the final mix. Maybe better with a sub?



I am extremely interested in how your vinyl version sounds. Is the clipping still there?

My vinyl rig's been out of commission for a while, I'm in need of a phono stage at the moment.

The FLAC version clipped like mad as well, it butchered my MS-2i, slapped around my K501, and kept the DT48a on its feet

I do believe that track from the dark knight ost has clipping in the recording - either that or the mastering engineer normalized the peaks to the very limit. Check a wav of the track in audacity.

The entirety of Cryptopsy's None So Vile album doesn't really reproduce as good as it probably could. I'd imagine it'd require electrostats to prevent the insanely fast tempo drumming sounding somewhat messy and muddled.

I'm glad others noticed the clipping too. I had to delete the entire OST because of this.
