Great review. I have to ask you this tough, how do this fair with very fast and aggressive music?
For me ortho headphone were primarily rock, metal and hard-core phones. I really like my stats and AMT for all and any kind of music with one exception, I was using YH-100 and my other ortho phones for very fast, loud, aggressive and complex music with a lot of stuff going, they would not get confused and had a kick to them that even the best stat did not deliver.
P.S. Can I copy your review to Wikiphonia?
I used to love Lala when it was just a CD trading site. They were great and also had a good CD store that had very competitive prices. When they moved to this music web-based listen nonsense I stopped using them. I guess I am just old-school.
Bought a few cheap Vinyls, a bit scratchy and dusty but play fine and all are original first issues is seems.

Very dark Swiss progressive band with strange instrumentation: percussion, drums, gongs, keyboards, pedal-bass, saxophones, flute, clarinet, and Peter Hammill like vocal delivery.
