Does Every Track Sound Great on Your System?

How do you know if it is the recording or your system?

By way of example with a focus on bass, for some songs I like the amount of bass, then another song I feel like it needs more bass to hit harder, and then another song I feel like there is too much bass and it is boomy. Does that ever happen to you? I feel like I am getting the treble sorted out, but going back and forth on the bass.

Can anyone listen to the first 20 second of the song Temptation by Diana Krall from the Girl In The Other Room album and let me know if there is a bass component that is a bit much? The vocals sound good so no issue there.

Thanks.

My system with 2 REL subs rarely need adjustment, but I can easily turn the bass level up or down on the RELs (easily accessible using the infamous "chicken head" knobs) or use my Schiit Loki Max to EQ an out of balance recording (seriously, everybody should have one if these). Another option is to shut it all down, put my face in my hands, and start sobbing.

Again, the Loki Max is an astonishing EQ specifically designed for home audio and its remote makes it in a class by itself. Nothing like it, it works perfectly. Absolute Sound "product of the year"...blah blah...Don't expect it to work like a studio specific designed EQ as it's not supposed to, but having had mine for a while now I can attest to its ability to make sub par recordings sound far better and do it silently...a classy, great looking gizmo. Ya gotta have "chicken head" knobs to be able to see the knobulations from across the room.
