hi guys,
i recently purchased a 20 gig ipod. i've noticed on some songs the right side is fainter than the left side, or the right side sounds different. ive tested this with multiple headphones (the standard ones that come with ipod, the some sr-60 grados and some other plugs).
my question is, is this normal? are highs/mids/lows equally transfered to the left and right channels? it bothers me because its not like one side is completely inaudible, but that the two sides sound significantly different. ex. the left plug has more bass or the right has more treble, the singers voice is more clear on one side than the other.
Also, could someone briefly explain to me the fundamental concept behind l/r channels and why some sounds are only transferred to one channel? why not equally transfer the sound(s) to both channels?
