first off... is "imbalance" even a word... as in the lack of symmetry from side to side?
I was getting a little concerned my PA2=>MS2 seems to sound hotter on the right side. Guitars/vocals are more "in my face", on the right channel. While the left side is slightly more distant and not as loud. Image pulls to the right more as a result. Only happens after ~45 minutes of listening.... not at the beginning???
strange... So I fiddle with my bowl pads and I think whats happening is my right ear cartilage is not as rigid, and doesnt stick out as much as the left side. So the bowl foam compresses and the driver sinks down to my head more on the right.
With the cans on my head, I spin/rotate the bowl on the right side to an un-compressed spot against my ear to pull the driver back out away... viola.. the image re-centers itself.
Am I crazy? Any one else notice this?.. is this psycho-acoustics or for real?
