I see a lot of chat here about components, but not much about EQing a room. Is the belief that hifi audio systems should rely solely on the output of their components? I added a mixer with parametric EQ to my rig and it really allowed me to improve the sound quality…
To EQ properly is expensive, complicated and time consuming, or both.
To buy new components is a surge of serotonin in my brain juice.
I like the second more.
I used to religiously eq all my headphones. Until one day i reformatted my computer and lost all the individual presets for my different cans. Never bothered recreating them and simply moved on, and never missed it. I know it sounded objectively closer to my preferred house curve, but at the end of the day excellent sounding music was coming out of them either way so i wasnt going to faff around anymore.
