The remark I made about the T5 sounding harsh was only my first impression. I only made that remark showing that connecting T5 to my existing unchanged sound system showed I thought T5's highs were harsher. I'm sure changing some settings will yield a much better sound to my ears. I'd be interested on some others posting any EQ or similar settings they changed. Whether it was T2, T3, or T4 I remember making adjustments to all of them. Perception of sound quality is such a personal matter. I doubt if one setting could satisfy everyone. Room acoustics, headphones or speakers, audio gear, perhaps age make us all have a different perception of sound quality. I wouldn't worry about it............. -charley
