What I did just notice is that I have tone control on bypass. That just may have something to do with it. I never read what the feature did, but I wasn't under the impression it turned off. Figured it adjusts to YPAO or something. This could have a large impact on my listening. I think I also have this night mode thingy which narrows the range of sorts for night listening. It seems that plugging it up wasn't the way to go !
