After 2 hours i turned off the shelf and it sounded better. Just my opinion. But just to show im not trying to be a jerk...I will say that after switching to black dragon xlr and purchasing an Element H usb card with the IpowerX power supply, eq does suddenly work A LOT better for me, I am not turning it off but leaving it on (the eq). So...now suddenly eq sounds so much better with the lowered noise floor.... See, Im just trying to be honest and get the best sound...its not an ego thing. So to be clear, as of yesterday with the new gear, I AM using EQ productively for the first time in my life. Next purchase is the Denefrips BIC500 power conditioner with 3 Shunyata power cables, one for the bic500, one for the dac and one power cord for the amp. If I was rude I do apologize. I am at work and cant post pictures of eq but I will do so tonight.I think it's the manner in which you're expressing your opinions that is raising a few eyebrows.
I'm curious as to your particular usage of EQ being somone who is not initially inclined to use it. You say you employ a modest bass shelf and it sounds good. I'm curious as to what a modest shelf is considered to be and where yours is placed. Would you mind posting your setting?
Blessings,
