My humble opinion is quite different. I have a 6-band equalizer between my CD/SACD player and my integrated amp and use when I play certain discs and its wonderful!
For example, nearly all (all?) early Motown recordings have very little low end and a bit too much high end. A judicious use of the equalizer makes Tham sound amazing!
So in my opinion/experience, the issue is the recording. I know of no other way to address this. Do you, @soix ??
