McIntosh Integrated MA-12000 Better Use Tone Controls or Wear Hearing Aids

That's great to hear.

I now realize that I’ve been wasting my tweeters on the Sabrina X. Adjusting the 10kHz equalizer totally changed the presentation. I had thought that there wasn’t much energy in the 10-20kHz region, but I discovered that there were violins, even in Holst, The Planets and the Trinity session totally transforms. The highs not only contributed to voice, but also to the ambience. I’m now listening to Moby and same story.  Not bad for a no cost upgrade.

The obvious answer to my question is to try it and I will starting today. What I don’t have is the ability to try and compare a top level hearing aid to without aid and equalizer active. I’ll just have to pay to play.

Thanks for your feedback.

I think that you may be worrying about nothing. The boost in that area will be beneficial for you, and any tiny degradation to the overall sound will be miniscule.
