FWIW, Linda Ronstadt's 'Hasten Down The Wind' album is a classic example of the singer being lost in the mix. The musicians completely overwhelm her voice. I thought it was maybe a pressing mistake, so I sprung for a half-speed Master. Money well wasted. Her voice is still buried by the band. My opinion is that some mixers/engineers simply didn't have a clue or were too high when they made an album. Others had their act together and put out a well balanced sound.
I've tried equalization and other electronic compensations in the past, but the results were not satisfactory. If the source material isn't good, I just don't listen to it any more. BTW, I'm pretty finicky about VTA, VTF, and anti-skating, so those have already been considered.
just my $0.02
