RE: Can someone explain to me why the "balance knob" is evil?

Haha. I guess I am. But I look at it this way; if my 19 dollar thrift amp needs to either turn the balance knob a tiny bit to center the image and sound good, or a time and/or money consuming repair, guess what I am doing?? Aren't we easentially doing the same thing by moving speakers around?

However... If it requires more than, assuming 12 o clock for no adjustment, 11 or 1 then even I start to get disconcerted. More than just a little nudge either way is, at least to me, a problem that requires fixing. I don't think that makes any sense either but my audiophile gene, though stunted, stilll excretes some "phoolery"

It's about the music baby!
