TONE


So, hear is my latest conundrum(well, perhaps that is a little bit of a  hyperbole)...
I enjoy my current system immensely, but do not actively compare it to others or seek listening to live music...I remain pleased with my systems dynamics, soundstage, detail, BUT am always wondering about TONE...being we all, more or less, have limited audio memory, I imagine only musicians who are regularly acquainted with the TRUE TONE of live instruments can recognize the accuracy of the TONE of an audio system....I guess I  kind of answered my own question, in saying I enjoy my system, BUT any advice/thoughts/suggestions about how one satisfies this concern?

Does it matter ?

Also with age, everyone’s relative response to different frequencies will degrade.
(There will be some delusional parties commenting here claiming the opposite, just ignore them).

Get an equalizer and experiment. It will not change the frequencies but will make their relative amplitudes different, which may improve the listening experience you have.

I have an old Yamaha 12 band equalizer which works wonders.
If you do not like it, you can always bypass it.

I actually like the distorted/exaggerated frequencies. To my ears, it sounds much better than the original live music :-)
