Not to adjust for music, but more to adjust for my Speakers and Room. I have no intention of tweaking them differently between one disk or album and another but more-so trying to find a happy medium in sound between two systems I have.
I was playing Pandora via my OPPO93 thru 2 different systems at the same time. One is Bright while my main speakers seem to lack some midrange and highs. I could stand in the kitchen and hear one system with one ear, and the other with other ear, sort of stereo image using two systems.
It made me remember why I Iove my old Continental Clearfields so much. They are rich in midrange and upper detail. They just did not mate properly with my new Luxman and I reverted back to Dynaudio 82s in my main setup.
So just to take my own advice and try something for first hand real world experience, I backed off on the Bass some, and boosted the Treble a little more than what I backed off the Bass.
So far I am liking the change in sound. I will fiddle a little bit more but plan to find a spot to just set it and forget it.
In the Bright system, I tamed the brightness with ICs or it would have remained fatiguing.
So, although I am still not on board with using TCs to adjust for every disk or album I play, I am appreciating the ability to change the sound a little. As per changing controls for the music itself, I got to thinking. If the track is lacking in bass, what am I boosting if I up the Bass Control? My answer to myself is that I am boosting the lack of bass. If it isn't there to begin with, what am I really boosting.
OK, the can of worms is opened again
