What EQ Preset do you use in Winamp?

I just did a re-install and couldn't remember which pre-set I used. So I took 20 minutes to cycle through them all, and was kinda suprised by what I decided on. I wound up deciding between Classical and Laptop/Headphone Speakers. Went with Classical. All while listening to a Tenacious D album. (through Logitech z560s)

Howto test each one:
1. Start your song/playlist
2. Hit "Alt+G" to toggle the equilizer on
3. Click the "ON" silver bar in the top left of the EQ window
4. Click the "Presets" sliver bar on the top right
5. Hover over load, and then choose "Presets"
6. Move the menu so you can see the equalizer as you change the preset
7. Click through each preset, allowing about 2 seconds after you click for it to "kick in"

So what'd you choose?

I use the EQ in my GTXP driver software. Seems to be more responsive and it works for all audio coming out of my computer, not just Winamp.

WinAmp's EQ sucks.

Get Sonique for a real EQ. :p

The Winamp EQ makes the music distorted in a lot of cases - I leave it turned off.....

custom one.

I have the 1K set as low as possible. The bass higher than default and treble higher than bass. Sounds better than any other preset.

I used to use "Rock" but then I noticed crackling, so I just changed the EQ settings in the Santa Cruz equalizer...
