When you turn on the loudness setting.. You usually will have more
distortion; but most of the newer stereos have got very good figures either
way. (excluding the el Cheapos from Wally World.. Those can range from
2-20% THD depending on the model.. explains how you can get head unit &
speakers for $40-50.. Makes Sparkomatic & Kraco look good by comparison)

We end up with closer to 200 tracks.. everything from Classical, rock,
country, comedy and even some stray misc .wav files.

Try mixing up JB weld.. or some plumbers epoxy.. either will give the screws
plenty to bite into.
