I took Frank Zappa’s advice

I’ve never actually heard this album but apparently Frank and I have the same taste. I listen to everything that way. 

Zappa - Ship Arriving Too Late to Save a Drowning Witch:

"This album has been engineered to sound correct on JBL 4311 speakers or an equivalent. Best results will be achieved if you set your pre-amp tone controls to the flat position with the loudness control in the off position. Before adding any treble or bass to the sound of the album, it would be advisable to check it out this way first. F.Z."

It’s raining here in Idaho. Gotta listen to “Little Umbrellas” from Hot Rats.

After all these responses, I listened to it. I didn't care for the sound. I'm not sure any speakers could remedy that.

I thought that no EQ was a very popular notion in audiophilia.  My previous integrated amp had a button to defeat the treble and bass settings and my present IA does not have EQ knobs at all.  Isn't this common?

also,

What can I say about this elixir?

@tostadosunidos , I was out of it for a while, but once upon a time I believe that this was the popular audiophile opinion. But the popular audiophile opinion, related to just about everything,  seems to be a shifting landscape.
