Does Every Track Sound Great on Your System?


How do you know if it is the recording or your system?

By way of example with a focus on bass, for some songs I like the amount of bass, then another song I feel like it needs more bass to hit harder, and then another song I feel like there is too much bass and it is boomy. Does that ever happen to you? I feel like I am getting the treble sorted out, but going back and forth on the bass.

Can anyone listen to the first 20 second of the song Temptation by Diana Krall from the Girl In The Other Room album and let me know if there is a bass component that is a bit much? The vocals sound good so no issue there.

Thanks.

@wsrrsw , thanks. There was a lot said about digital vs analog and BACCH on the other thread I had mentioned. I won’t repeat here. Suffice to say here that I prefer analog EQ for preserving naturalness, soundstage, transience, 3D and timbre. It’s simply more hi fi than digital. I have compared Roon and many others to my analog piece. Vastly prefer analog. Sound is incredible. 

Oh, there I also described my one listening experience with BACCH preamp. Is the real deal. See other thread. 

@asvjerry You is educated. As this Does Every Track Sound Great on Your System discussion has morphed, as they often do, into EQ and that a bit into good and evil (very evil in the hands of evil doers IMHO) of AI all I can conjure up is “We Have Met the Enemy and He Is Us” Walt Kelly

Not all daddy oh's here have untold dedicated ducats devoted to bits and pieces of hardware and that's a real life dichotomy that has many seeking information on these fora of getting the most bang for their boodle. 

Ah....audiophilia, whither goest thou?

@tlcocks Link to other thread please? (You can PM me on Agon if you don't want to share here)

 

Just search “equalizer in a hi fi system Audiogon on google. That’s how I pull it up
