[QUOTE="Per Søvik, post: 55540, member: 1285"] Re: Why is left channel louder? Scotland, Wales, Northern Ireland, Ireland, Cyprus, Malta :D~:-D~:grin: Sweden came to their senses more than four decades ago, so all of mainland Europe drives on the correct, sorry, right side. So if you live in those countries and want to enjoy an american mix, you need to rewire your car stereo. The same goes for those in the rest of the world that listens to music from these countries :twisted: When I posted the thread starter, I was quite convinced that I would get replies more along the lines that "it is only you, your equipment and all in your head". I have actually never heard this imbalance mentioned before, but the answers definitely makes sense to me. Funny thing though, I have severe hearing loss in my right ear, in terms of what is being measured in a standard test, but still have the impression that my hearing is more detailed on that side, so i never really feel I [U]have[/U] to compensate by turning up the right hand side even if I can sense and see that the left is louder. I have one theory that sort of fits in. Most people have their right eye as the master, and might possibly turn their head slightly to the left when facing straight ahead, thus minutely improving the sound on the right in a stereo speaker situation. Since my left eye is the master, maybe I'm turning my head slightly in the other direction and therefore somwhat sense this unbalance. [/QUOTE]
