Greatest Metal Album Ever?

[-Jar-]

I can only take a little metal anymore, and for me, JUDAS PRIEST is the only metal band that matters.

"British Steel" or "Stanied Class" are definitive metal albums that any headknocker should own!

Speaking of Judas Priest..

Former JUDAS PRIEST drummer David Holland was jailed for eight years Friday (Feb. 13) for the attempted rape of a special needs teenager, according to the Times Online.

Holland was convicted of one charge of attempted rape and five counts of indecent assault on the 17-year-old boy at the star's rural Northamptonshire.

It's nice that one can find people that listen to metal here. I am curious what are the metal listener's preferences in audio equipment... Anything fancy there?

Pretty basic, actually. Pro-480 PC audio setup with two small sattelite speakers (I'd say they're about 5" tall) and a subwoofer, with a 3D sound option (that's always turned on) and a SiS 7018 Wave mixer. I don't know much beyond that--I'm not really into hi-fi sound systems (poor college student speaking). My knowledge is limited to bands and the actual music, not what I'm playing it on, though I do acknowledge the difference a good audio system makes.

My setup's got a pretty nice mix of bass, depth, and definition. I like the way it sounds, though a discerning audiophile may think it sucks. I don't know. I just know that I like it.

BTW, from one newbie to another: Welcome! ; )

My source is thus:

Sony SCD-CE775 SACD player, and as CD transport into MSB Link DAC III

Speaker system:

Musical Fidelity A3^CR Pre/power combo -> Spendor S3/5's w/Sunfire True Sub Jr.

Headphone system:

Singlepower amp driving AT W2002's, mostly.

Nothing fancy in the car, unfortunately.
