Note:
 Im mainly listening to Lateralus with these phones and this function window set for encoding the Lateralus album. what i suppose i find during listening is that it seems like the functions allow the phones to do some weird surgery and if i get my idea right lateralus can be really like a surgical and time unbecoming and unfolding folding through time album. the way i can feel about how it sounds right now supposes me to think ahead and try to keep to these phones for quite a long time to see how it affects me and makes my brain feel of course ... over time .... yeah the window function set allows these particular phones to be more surgical with the percussion and the bass and guitar work. so im going to stick it out for a while and keep listening to lateralus (like i used to in 2003). the window function list is damn near impossible to make any better although there could be a flaw im nut sure though all times going foward i always kept running into a flaw and i had to rearrange the function list. however all within, this set is good for encoding and i want to keep it because its really good and i might reencode with blackman_harris_4term_92db right after blackman to make it sound louder (i think i know it will make the sound much louder).... so ill be listening for while with these phones....
