The frequency balance is very important in an hi-end audio system. Even slightly more high freq, the sound becomes bright. The listener feels dark and gloomy if the low and mid freq are even slightly more. The best reference is to match freq balance with the original sound or music. Therefore, the audio sound is natural and balanced and one can listen to the audio system for the long time without the listener’s fatigue.
One of big reasons for craving more bass is the strong distortion in an audio system. The audio distortion is mostly felt in the higher freq and is playing like high freq which makes there is more high freq. Then the more bass and mid are needed to balance out. The audio distortion is major irritation to human ears and our ears will not tolerate even little distortion sound. Even the strongest bass is not enough to balance out to this harsh high freq like audio distortion.
One way to reducing the audio distortion easily is using good properly made audio power cords.
