Low Frequencies, Lower Mids & Presence (#3, #5 & #6) are usually at zero. The Bass (#4), usually at 10-11 o’clock. Treble & High Frequencies [a.k.a. as Air] (#7 & #8) are usually at or near maximum. I make small adjustments periodically depending on the production of the album and/ or, the headphone I’m using.Thank you. I meant the specific positions of the controls as were in the photo, raised highs to the max etc. (I was already familiar with the lokius manual, that's why I asked).
Maybe both of us using a Lehmann Linear has something to do with admiring the NDH 30 so much!These days the CD player(s) looks like this:-
Ι can understand the #8(16kHz) being at max because of our age (I am 53). We can hardly listen anything above 14-15 kHz now, but I suppose control #8 affects the area over 12kHz somewhat, too.Low Frequencies, Lower Mids & Presence (#3, #5 & #6) are usually at zero.

Steely Dan was comprised of the duo Donald Fagen and the late Walter Becker. The band’s name ‘Steely Dan’ is from the novel “The Naked Lunch” by William S. Burroughs, written during the Beat Generation movement. To be specific, it’s the name given to a, ”dildo” by a female character in the story.Heard someone calling my name. lol : )
Sorry don't know Donald Fagen,took with a quick sample...not really my listening genre at all. Sorry. : (
......Stand corrected..he's Steely Dan, that's about all I know... believe I have one of their albums "Aja", but on vinyl from the 70s.
Not for me. I’m turning 68 next month. So, again depending on the production and/ or the headphone I’m using, I noticed that by extending #7/ treble, the ride cymbal as an example, becomes clearer without becoming sibilant. Also, I don’t understand the measurements themselves per se, eg. kHz, etc. I’ve tried many times learning/ understanding them but to no avail. It was the same with math in school, to say that it was a struggle for me is an understatement. Academically, no problem, that was a breeze. With the years I’ve come to accept that it’s basically the way my brain is wired. So, getting to the point, when I adjust the tone controls on the Lokius, I do so by ear.The #7 (6kHz) being close to max isn't way too much for the NDH 30 ?
Thanks Bob..been awhile....all coming back to me, sort of. : )Steely Dan was comprised of the duo Donald Fagen and the late Walter Becker.

My Lokius only has 6 controls. How much did you guys pay for the 8-knob version??Not for me. I’m turning 68 next month.

In my case, I couldn’t accurately confirm what you’re saying. Check out my previous post, no. 1,791 above, on this page, as to why. BTW, love your avatar.And at 41 years old, I barely can tell any difference when I actuate the highest knob on the Lokius. I think my hearing tops out around 15kHz. Is there anything worth hearing above that threshold anyway??
