| Equalizer in a Hi Fi system I would like the opinion of those using EQs on whether an EQ can assist with hearing differences between left and right ears.. in my case the left is more deficient than the right that shows minimal age-related decline. I have seen elsewhere that ... | |
| Equalizer to compensate for hearing loss - Any success stories? @elliottbnewcombjr I can't thank you enough for this recommendation. Not only does it directly address my needs, but is amazingly inexpensive. I will order one today! | |

Reading the observations here makes me wonder if my aged ears have declined more than I thought. While I found most speaker systems on display to provide good hi-fi sound, ... | |
| Going backwards: what speakers best match a pair of REL s/510s Thank you all for the very thoughtful and helpful advice. @needfreestuff I will definitely heed your advice to take my time to investigate main speakers that might be an even better match for the RELs. I have owned the Platinum speakers since bef... |
