I don't know if it's all in my head or if it has to do with the fact that JH Audio works a lot with pro musicians, but I find there's an awesome synergy between the JH13 and live albums. Not that it doesn't sound wonderful with everything else, but I like the way the JH13 reproduce the energy of live shows, crowd noise, applauds, etc. Maybe it's something in the frequency response or maybe I'm imagining stuff, but I don't remember enjoying the live albums in my collection so much with any headphones I had previously. I was listening to "Live after Death" sooner today it was rocking big time! SCREEEAAAM FOR ME LONG BEACH!!!!
