Re: FWIW, I agree with both of you

theaudiohobbies's need to make everyone else wrong notwithstanding, I think you make the primary point against EQ units, that they actually do more damage than they fix, which is why a lack of tone controls is so common in high end equipment- a desire for the truth in reproduction; without coloration.

Unfortunately some LPs and CDs have less than stellar fiddling that has possibly ruined the recording- raising the desire to have EQ to fix each one individually. For my part I avoid playing said recordings too loud to avoid their offensive nature.

I have found though that by ridding myself of equipment that reacts adversely to poor recordings, that those recordings then become bearable enough that I don't miss the EQ.
