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.
@thecarpathian - Your statement would be true if you only listened to one recording. Since every record has a different recording crew, general adjustments are necessary.
Happy holidays everyone. It is amazing to me what some of us do to compensate for the inadequate recording " sound " we deal with, over and over. Treat yourself to a cd or digital file download of " Drums & Bells ", by Tony Minasian. This recording will help you to determine what, if anything, is needed in your system, for your ears. Thank me later. Enjoy ! Always, MrD.
