RE: Audio System Performance (a rant)

Well, Tony...

We do quickly get into semantics issues with these discussions (such as me and the OP discussing what constitutes a good or bad recording, be it appraised by subjective or objective criterion).

In your case, you likely have no idea what would consitute an equalization transfer function that would "reverse" some of the EQ woes done in the recording / mixing / mastering process. What you did is subjectively EQ the recording - it SOUNDS better now.

This is all I mean by "good and bad" recordings. Those that sound good are good, those that sound bad are bad.

Now, for more semantics, you differentiate between those who listen to recordings and those who (I assume) listen to MUSIC.

Therein lies the rub: We listen to recordings OF music. The fact it's recorded music cannot be eliminated from the equation no matter how determined some of us are to do just that (me included).

Cheers,
Presto
