| Have you ever hated the sound of your system one day, and loved it the next? 2channel8, I think you have something there about Eustachian tubes,I have problems on airplane flights too.

| Classical Music for Aficionados For those of us that sometimes have a problem with the sound of our systems (I know I do) I wrote this on another thread.“When I listen just for the “sound” of my system I hear all kinds of abnormalities, but when I’m listening to the MUSIC inste... | |
