Title: Way too much amplifier hum (hiss)!
Review: I read the reviews before I bought this. Numerous people complained about a hissing noise that you hear all the time. So why did I go ahead with buying it?Because I am _NOT_ an audiophile! I know people who will only listen to 256 kbps MP3s because they can "totally hear the difference between 192 and 256." Well, I can't! So when I read those reviews I thought that maybe the reviewers were just overly picky.Let me tell you-- they are NOT. The humming hissing noise is really loud. It sounds like those old clock radios "wake to buzz"-- if those alarm clocks have a volume of 10, this is certainly a 1.I really really thought that I could deal with it. I said, "Well, most of the time I will listen to it fairly loud." But then a song came on that had a lot of quiet parts, and you could hear that horrible hiss!I'm going to have to send it back-- it's that bad.
Is this product review negative?
