Your attitude seems to assume that you or someone besides the
person who asked the question is going to have to listen to
what the uninformed eq user does with his eq. Certainly he is
intitled to trust his own ears, measuring equipment, or whatever.
People with your attitude (like the chief engineer with the eq
license) assume that since <they> have an eq license, everyone is
going to think their choice of eq (including no eq) is just super.
Look at the generation of record listeners who think that
exaggerated stereo [(L-R) > (L+R)] is normal. If it wasn't for
Bob Carver we still wouldn't know what the knob twiddlers in
the cutting houses had done to us. If it wasn't for Julian
Hirsch we wouldn't know what Mark Levinson considers flat
response in his $5K+ amplifiers. Practice what you preach and
keepa da fingers offa da knobs - except at home where you won't
hurt anybody but yourselves. hound!rfg
