Could be. But it amounts to the same thing. Whether you boost the bass or cut everything except the bass, the end result is the same. Like EQ, it's about how the entire audible frequency range is balanced.Any chance they appeared to suck out treble because the bass was enhanced by a better than usual seal therefore masking the treble ?
Expectation bias cuts both ways. If you don't expect to hear a difference, you likely won't. That's why I find arguments about expectation bias unpersuasive (or at least not useful). I'm much more of an empiricist when it comes to audio. If I hear a difference, then I hear a difference. If I don't, I don't. Much simpler that way.I think often people hear differences because they expect them not because they are there or for reasons related to the seal being different.
