Do you have a listening room with perfect acoustics? Are your speakers ruler flat from 50Hz-15kHz? Would you score in the top 10% on a hearing test?
If your answer is "no" to any or all of these questions, you're not getting your money's worth from your audio components. And the solution, no matter what the experts claim, is the judicious application of a 31-band graphic equalizer.
The experts condemn tone controls. They add audible distortion. If there's too much treble, add curtains or wall treatments. If there's too much bass, move your speakers further from the wall. It's OK to change the tonal balance, but only after the music comes out of the speakers.
As most audiophiles know, well-designed tone controls do not add audible distortion. The all-important integrity of the signal is not affected.
The experts forbid graphic equalizers. If Bass and Treble controls are bad, a 31-band graphic equalizer is 15 times worse. But modern graphic equalizers, correctly designed, are acoustically transparent.
So why are graphic equalizers off-limits to audiophiles? The real answer is that they are too difficult to adjust. Even the golden-eared audio critics can't figure out how. And neither can the techies with their calibration microphones. There are just too many possible settings and too many psychoacoustic effects. Experimenting with 31 different sliders often makes the system sound worse and just leaves the user frustrated and confused.
The Audiophile's Guide To Graphic Equalizers and companion Test CD offers a simple, 7-step method for correctly setting up your equalizer. Fully illustrated, the book describes a unique, step-by-step procedure that gives great results without the need for microphones or sound meters.
