- This is not a problem. Not all CDs are "eq"ed to the same level. Classical
- music, in particular, demands a greater dynamic range that the CD format
- graciously provides. This means that the volume for needed to produce the
- "medium" level sound is push further to the "right" (if you can visualize this
- on a graph). Thus you need to turn the volume up to produce a sound level that
- you would expect to be "medium". Be warned this tends to make the "louds" very
- loud, but this is desirable in most music, as then the "softs" are audible.
