>You obviously can't hear any better than I. Such is life! ;-) (nt)John, I may not have golden ears, but I might be in the silver category for a few more years if I keep the volume low :-).
Seriously, I believe that two of the weakest links in audio are our hearing and room acoustics. I don't believe anyone doubts that there is such a thing as a perceived loudness curve that's affected by frequency; and unless you are willing to listen at full volume all the time, you are going to distance yourself from the most realistic sound without some EQ.
Same thing for the room. If one can afford a perfect acoustic environment that's great. But if you can't do that, reluctance compensate for bad acoustics with EQ in order to keep the signal chain "pure" is, in my new-found opinion, a mistake.
