FWIW I'm using the XMMS LADSPA plugin, with the following filters: - TAP Equalizer/BW with -10dB at 9kHz and +6dB at 16kHz (to fix the hi-freq unevenness) - 4-band parametric filter with +15dB and bandwidth 1.7 at 20Hz (to fix the lo-freq dip) - Simple Amplifier with a -15dB gain over the entire spectrum (otherwise the LADSPA chain gets overloaded by the 4-band filter) The phones sound awesome this way. The residual roughness that I was complaining about is due to the fact that I'm listening to 128k streaming MP3 radio stations. -- Florin Andrei http://florin.myip.org/
