The quality of the components are also in play. While I believe in the straight wire with gain philosophy, it really depends on the sophistication of the system. Sometimes an added element can sound better in systems with less resolution , or if they are correcting for room acoustics.
All records have some kind of EQ used in the production, so they are not all automatically bad. Most home EQ are not that kind of quality, however. But one must consider the setting. It might not be any more of a sonic problem than other equipment in the system, so the net result is an increase in enjoyment.
I sometimes run some eq in my car radio, just to play around on certain source material.
