I was not enjoying the performance until I ......
Equalized it with the Schiit Loki unit. Miraculously, when I boosted the bass which was lacking, the performance came to life. It’s amazing how my long term prejudice against using an equalizer caused me to reject so many recordings on the basis of sound deficiencies.

The Loki is an amazing device. The ingrained bias against tampering with the “purity” or sanctity of the original artifact is rendered ridiculous with it. It’s of such high quality that it does not interfere with the
good qualities of the original disc. By manipulating the frequencies slightly you can, to use a cliche, turn a sows ear into a silk purse.
