For arguments sake I'll agree that music comes pre-EQ'd - explain to me how not EQing this further is deceiving myself? Clearly if the artist produces a piece of music with lets say a 32 Hz spike, I place this in my CD player and with my EQ off it will still have the very same 32 Hz spike that the artist intended. If I take the same CD and boost the EQ myself with the same jump at 32 Hz then that is not what the artist intended.
Are you following? Let me illiterate; whether or not the artists adjusts the EQ prior to finalizing his or her piece of music, the end product is what the artist wants me to hear.

Unless of course your equalizer of choice adds noise to the signal, then there is that. |
