Should I upgrade my system while losing my hearing?

EQ in Addition to an Active Crossover?
Try it out! You’ve got nothing to lose, and even if equalizers aren’t that fashionable today, that’s no reason to not use it if you like the result.  
Best song for immediate impact when presenting or testing?

Turntables
@luvrockin As I move the arm towards the center if the album, it gets worse wtf? It does this with the TT running and when it is off. Your hum problem is from the turntable power transformer and your cartridge is insufficiently shielded to block t...

@prof Talk of preferences will bring in all sorts of differing opinions, which is fine, but I was responding to the promulgation of incorrect technical claims. You are wrong if you claim that digital reproduces the original analog with 100% accura...

@khughes  In the end, though, when *you* think the vinyl kills the CD and I think the reverse, in the same listening session, *neither* of us is wrong. Get over it. Really? “Get over it”? Really? Now isnt isn’t that a conflicting picture you paint... 
Can Sony TC-377 reel to reel tape deck with 60 cycle power be used with 50 cycle power
