G -
funny you mention that. I was thinking the same thing - just competent or adequate but not as sharp as the nuforce. Still, just having a real usable volume range was enough of a benifit that I prefer it already. Glad to hear that it may sharpen up.
Question - If it needs 1000 hrs to reach potential, does it matter if that comes as a couple of hrs per day over 100 days, or 24 hrs per day over 42 days?
