I use a SPL meter on a tripod, and
do not like pink noise.
I use 1/3 octave test tones, like found on Amazing Bytes CD. Last one sold, $9.99 was me, I snapped it up. Actually the one on discogs for $42. delivered is a good price, most often $75. + delivery.
I don’t use LP test records, something might be off, CD’s always sound the same.
After measuring and adjusting in some manner, still using test tones: then adjust to your preference by ear.
I might revise Erik's statement, also true: you might have too much midrange, too much presence, which can be appealing, especially vocals, but in the same way, lessens the balance of the bass, and in many cases, at our age of reduced sensitivity to highs, you might find yourself boosting the highs.
Eurythmics Sweet Dreams will help you with final highs adjustments after measurements.
