Integrated that blew you away
It look wonderful and i like the appearence... With which other amplifier had you compared it before ?   I really enjoy my Roger’s High Fidelity EHF 200 Mark II integrated. It’s very powerful at 100+  watts / channel in full class A operation ... 
Integrated that blew you away
There it is.  No way a 15 year old IA purchased for $600 will sound as good as the Current design $5000 IA. Apples for Oranges period! You should start your own thread then, instead of derailing this one.   You are a bit rude boy for a newcom... 
Equalizer in a Hi Fi system
For any system under some price,it is impossible to go without  equalization and tone controls... Analog is better S.Q. /price ratio... I had no experience with very high end...      
Integrated that blew you away

What do you do when the music’s not speaking to you?
A musician has a great advantage,when music did speak to him no more, he can speak to music himself.    
"Good" Music
What about Léo Ferré and Barbara ? Reggiani and Ferrat  with Braessens ?     What about my favorite with Joan Baez Elena Frolova ?  
Equalizer in a Hi Fi system
i am pretty sure you are right! But i had no  extended experience with EQ as you demonstrated here... Just an anecdote : My analog tone control of the Sansui alpha are very good... It is the top of Sansui design history... My AKG K340 are a T...

"Good" Music
If someone try just for new music try India music... It is as sophisticated as West music with magnificent rythms... Or try African music...I recommended Yoruba talking drums... Also Persia created stunning music... Turkey too ... China can b... 
"audiophiles listen to their equipment"
I know you know because you studied "system/room"... I read your post story about your rooms journey...  It feel good to be approved by you...   @mahgister  yes.   
What do you do when the music’s not speaking to you?
