This is an interesting read. Rane has published other interesting papers too, about clipping for example.

But I find the graphic EQ easier to deal with as long as it has enough bands. |

With headphone systems each part of your set-up performs the roll of an EQ. Some cables are dark some cables are bright. Some headphones are bright and so on. When everything is set up the way you want it you just enjoy the diferences of your sourse material. Some material requires different headphones which are the ultimate form of EQ. Most of the time adding another componant just gets you one step farther away from your source. If componant wise we are able to adjust the EQ why would we want to add another set of cables and another componant to get us farther away from the sound? |
