If you like the way it sounds than use it! But....there is a reason high end preamps and integrated amps don't have loudness buttons or even tone controls!

So you're where I got it from

I know that and I advise other people about it too, I was just wondering what people thought about the subject and such. Thank you very much for the advice though; I think that I quoted that (and I hope you don't mind it) in the summer because I agreed with it and couldn't think of a better way to put it. Thanks again

But, at the same time, always remain open to neutrality.

I've known a lot of bassheads who listened to their music with the subwoofer cranked, regardless of the style or genre, and they were always surprised by how much of the sound they were missing. Low masks high, y'know.

I've found that the frequency responses of some speakers and headphones sort of have the effect of creating their own loudness contour. That was part of Sennheiser's idea behind incorporating more bass into the HD-650.

Interesting; nifty idea on their part
