I have just tested this and it does improve things. slowed down it reduces the reverb/echo effect sped up I can now watch programs quite comfortably at 1.6x tested on a malcom ep and a wicked science ep. I could not do this this fast before. music still sounds fine though. I would suggest making this the default. the readme on the soundtouch home page does say a lower value for this parameter is better for speech as the numbers were picked for music. cheers mark
