Interesting on how so many agree on the original post and go into detail on why they agree yet, when you speak about equalizers in your system it's against all "Audiophile" beliefs. Ask the question about having an equalizer in your system and you will have hundreds jump down your throat that it's not pure, you aren't hearing the music the way it was intended, blah blah blah.
My argument to that for many years has been not all recordings are not engineered well, the engineer isn't in your room, doesn't know your system etc... Many of the imperfect recordings can be resolved with an equalizer or at least make them listenable which can expand your play list.
Pretty much the same discussion different with responses.
