Do you mean your phone’s speaker? Hmm…this makes me think…I wonder if Serban Ghanea is just mastering things for shitty phone speakers and laptop speakers. That would explain some dumb choices.
Doesn't this Serban guy know who we are?
WTF has he not replied to our DM's?

it doesn't matter, the point is that an "audio setup" is not required to make DM sound better than S/T, which sounds like ass, rendering your hyperbolic "I can't imagine" statement null and void

I don't need to make any apologies to you for spending most of my music-listening time on my phone

Like your actual phone speaker? Or headphones hooked to your phone?

I simply can't afford an audiophile's setup and I'm OK with that

That's fair, but if you were only using your phone's speaker I'd wonder how you can stomach it. Most phone speakers are very tinny and shrill

Omg, I just remembered the headphones I gave you. They're probably long gone by now, huh? That must've been 11 or 12 years ago now, damn

damn, I'd completely forgotten until you mentioned it, I'm sorry! long, traumatic story but I had to literally run from my ex situation and left almost all my belongings there; they'd have been among them
