Just use EQ via DSP. Don't be stubborn. Every recording you own has been EQ to some extent. It is a valid tool except in the audiophile community. Download REW and buy a Mic, and you will never look back.
Tuning my system towards a darker tone
I am trying to tune my system in a darker direction; as I have a bright ( lots of glass) listening area and have been directed by my interior designer ( aka wife) not to add room treatments. Starting with power cords, then possibly ICs would like to find a natural sounding power cord but with a darker tone. System includes: leben cs 600 amplifier, Linn Akurate Streamer DAC, Feikert Volare TT, Luxman CD player. Current power cords include Luna, Audio Art and Raven. Note: my speaker cables are not in play as they are within the walls and were picked to appease building codes in our area. My price range for cord 500-1000.
