I'm wondering what are people's thoughts on using an equalizer in their system. I have always used one for recording and making sound adjustments for my speakers in odd shaped rooms. I'm wondering how people feel about the use of an Equalizer.
As I listen to my music via a networked PC, I use a software EQ everyday, all day. I know that there are "flat" purists out there and that may work for them in their room and with their ears, but in my case, a boost in the bass frequencies below 35 Hz and in the midrange frequencies brought my music "to life" and has made listening to every album sheer bliss. I live in a post-war (1948) brick cape cod home with hard plaster walls. Non-eq'd playback sounds utterly sparse, if not lifeless, as a "flat" setting eliminates the presence of just about every element of the track minus the human voice and snare drum strikes. Thus, for me, usage of an EQ is a conditional must for music to be truly enjoyable.I'm wondering what are people's thoughts on using an equalizer in their system.

old tapes are a diff deal . didn't realize that .In my particular situation, My systems have alway's been Analog. I've never had Digital anything. I mostly make Duplicate Cassette Copies for friends, usually of old concert recordings that were swapped, traded with other people way back when. No idea what equipment they used so some recordings just don't sound their best. So on an occasion I will make slight adjustments to my liking. Someone else may not like the sound so they can tweak to their liking. Also my rooms are not exactly ideal for speaker placement. So for me if I need to tweak I do, if I don't I won't.
I couldn't do without an equalizer.I'm wondering what are people's thoughts on using an equalizer in their system. I have always used one for recording and making sound adjustments for my speakers in odd shaped rooms. I'm wondering how people feel about the use of an Equalizer.
