Adding Tone Controls?


My system sounds wonderful when playing well recorded jazz, classical, or "audiophile approved" material. Unfortunately, mass market pop frequently sounds horrible, with screechy splashy highs. It's obviously recorded with a built in bias to be played on car radios or lo-fi mp3s.
What can I add to my system to tone-down the highs on this sort of material? Sure, there's plenty of well recorded material to listen to, but there are plenty of pop rock bands I'd really like to explore if the recordings could be made a bit more listenable.

Man, is this an entertaining thread or what!

Lot's of frustrated closed-minded individual stuck in the snobbish audio-prison!

Who cares of one's solution for attaining enjoyment from his sound system. Cables, tone controls, equalizers, secret magical stones placed on speakers during a full moon, who cares ?

If it gets you there, do it! And pay no attention to those who put down others if they tinker with "purity". Sometimes a pure, unaltered signal can make your ears bleed in the wrong room, the wrong walls, the wrong surroundings furniture, hell, the wrong ears!

So go ahead, fight back with whatever technology or means at your disposal, as long as you enjoy the end results!

That's what this hobby should be about, enjoyment. So, remove those cobwebs and go for it?
