couldn't find the ar3 placard when navigating head fi so I'll post it here, for the sake of well, information and though am not a noob in audio recollection but for the exact opposite reason I'll be posting incompletely and in a very limited potential. Bass is like listening from outside a closed car with subwofers as such, disjointed. Maybe if i tried to eq bass from sub bass to upper i would do better, atm. Someone here or somewhere said you don't lose bass when listening at low volume! but that's granted if it's gna be a flawed or too strong bass...
