I suppose I do the same thing through tube rolling so I can't knock this approach at all. I can significantly add bass with a Mullard ECC35 or create more air and a deeper soundstage with some 1940s Tung-Sol 6SN7 round tops, or get more articulation and slam with some vintage RCA 805 power tubes...every change we make has the potential to affect sonic presentation....so what's wrong with turning a knob if that's how you choose to get to your listening preferences?
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. Now I can enjoy previously rejected wonderful performances.
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.
