   Getting close to 7.5 hours now.  The first few hours were kind of a   
   chore to hear.  It sounded really flat.  When I turned up the base and   
   the treble it started to sound decent.  Not a lot of EQ adjustment on   
   this thing, but there is enough to make it tolerable.   
      
   Been busy all day in the shop, so its just been back ground noise.
