Somebody turns up the bass? There goes your tune. Somebody plays a "bass boosted" song? There goes your tune. Oh was that a crackle/pop at the beginning of the song? There goes your tune. Oh, you switched sources from CD to radio? There goes your tune. Somebody turns the volume past the clipping point? There goes your tune. You have a bass-knob installed? There goes your tune. See what I mean? It's NEVER going to be 100% consistent. Setting gains by test tone results in low output on certain types of music and mediocre to good output on others. This is why bass knobs were invented, because all media is different and one setting does not fit all media.</blockquote>
