i EQ because music for me is self leisure. If i want to provide myself sound settings that ccomdate my mood then why not tweak the EQ a bit?

It's easy to make custom EQ settings for your iPod. Here's how:

1. in iTunes, go to the "Window" pull down menu, and click Equalizer.
2. Set EQ sliders as desired
3. in top of EQ window, click on pop-up menu - select "Make Preset"
4. Give your new custom EQ the exact same name as one of the Presets that appear on your iPod (e.g. Rock) - select Save - then tell it to replace the original setting (over-write) when prompted.
5. Sync your iPod.
6. Now when you select Rock EQ setting on your iPod - you will hear the custom EQ setting you just saved.

Use EQ only when staging a live performance . . . a "must have" to fit the venue. When it comes to listening . . . it's just me, my EAR Custom HD200, and the music . . . raw and natural please . . . just like a woman . . . no "EQ" needed with them eh?

When you put speakers in a room you are facing the exact same problem that a sound mixer has when he has to equalize a live performance, just on a smaller scale.

See ya

No, raw file into the phones, amp or DAC!

...Are you sure thats right....the apple help files say there is NO way to update the eq on the ipod.

I love to compare how sounds change with different settings. I also love how the music was intended to be hard.
Some recordings of music I like really need it. I listened to Doris Day yesterday, and to Lois Armstrong, both old recordings which benefited form equalization, IMHO.

YES, only to fix weaknesses of one's ears and/or gear.

Positive: try it; and you will hear the difference with your own ears.
(Don't know anything about the Apple Help File content - never read that stuff)
