What music you played FIRST THROUGH your NEW CANS?

[luuk]

another vote for eric clapton and the dire straits (I'm listening to them thanks to head-fi).
other ones:
muse
rhcp
dj envy + tapemasters
nofx--> leave it alone
new on the list: black eyed peas (great bass+funky sounds)

For my upcoming HD650, I will put on some of my most well recorded CD's, and for that, It's the Dave Matthews Band!! Alternately, I will also listen to Dire Straits, Brothers In Arms.

I am using Grado's and a couple of different amps but it sounds the same through both amps.

No sibilance at all from that song on my system.

Edit: on the "east" part, the s is emphasized but is very tolerant. It's more like a smooth high s.

<3 Air For Life - Andy Moor VS Above & Beyond <3

And the rest of the GodsKitchen 2005 Album.

I knew Instantly that the step up from Sony to Shures Was worth every penny.

I Also have a new found appreciation for my Shures, recently i moved up from The Creative Zen Micro to the Iaudio X5 and i realised how anemic the Zen is in Bass compared to the X5

. I also realised the X5 has a much more fun and natural sound signature

I guess that many of you like the Dark Side of the Moon.
It's good to feed your new baby (cans) with this masterpiece!
But this also means that your baby gets spoiled, and what
will happen when you start playing some "second league music"?

Who's got some more GOOD music to tell us about?

See you on the Dark

Side of the Moon

[fureshi]

Mari Mari - mimi to me so****e eko
James Leary - VTL003
Royksopp - The Understanding
Jay Chou - Chi Li Hsiang
Jeff Tain Watts - Detained at the Blue Note
Porcupine Tree - Deadwing
Dream Theatre - Train of Thought

I'll probably also start using the Stax Setup disc

Someone mentioned that well recorded LIVE albums are good for
testing your cans. How about "Made in Japan" by Deep Purple?
It's the #2 LIVE album of all times!

See you on Dark Side

of the Moon
