Well, to the people who doesn't like the idea of using E-Q. It makes sense as we are only "reproducing the already mastered, EQ-ed, edited, then produced music". By standing on the Sony Zx2 statements "hear the music the ways artists intended". Then we have to hear the music without E-Q. We even disabled the sound adjustment app for that...because the colorful effects of which may improve on some, and then compromise on another, which after all was another way to "color" the music.
Let's just call people like me, and some others as being the "purists". We have points though as we want to hear what it is there, and how, and why did it get produced this way. This is the points to all "Reproduced of the already produced music".
However, the people who love to hear the music the way they want to hear does also have a point. Why should they listen to the music the way it was intended ? Why don't they just "enjoy" the music the way they want to hear ? So this is where EQ comes to play. Again, there has to be compromises, and if they preferred it, then it is the way they enjoy it.
My ultimate conclusion is that, however ways we individuals want to hear the music...we never fully hear it or understand it with bad gears that compromises on some, and bad sources that compromises even worse, and then EQs. This is totally against "high-end" goals in the "audiophiles world", and this is Proedros point. It is the same simple example as you are personally asking Mossaic to compose a track the way one personally want to hear, and not "Mossaic" himself....the same as asking Picasso to paint the paintings the way one understand it....and not Picasso....then it just turns out to be "ordinary" and not "extra-ordinary"....because, mind you....common folks as such one individual can never "produce" something so "extraordinary". That is how we have "legendary" status for special "extraordinar" things.
Also, if one doesn't understand neither Mossaic or Picasso, and listen to explanations from a teacher or professor wouldn't do any goods either. Because one Picasso may worth hundred millions to one....and then it would be just "money value" by others
It takes a genius to understand another....or else, it would just come down to preferences, and subjectively speaking, and personal tastes, and all those good stuff. So for all that said, high-end gears and systems goals are engineered, and made to reproduce the music at the purest and most original from the way the artists intended. Isn't it not ?
