Ok, so it first occurred to me when optioning the Bermester sound system on my Porsche a little while back that the idea of an EQ was somehow offensive to audiophiles (or snobs as my dealer put it)... the guys at Burmester insisted that the pre-programmed voices is all I'd need to get the best sound out of this nearly $6000 audio "upgrade" ..
I've been interested in audio and music for years... Electronics in general, and I've got an Amateur Extra Class FCC license, and 4 digit callsign, and EE degree and years experience playing bass guitar and using equipment racks that include at least 4 band, if not more EQ's... Studios when recording music will tweak certain frequency ranges to get a certain sound from a recording, etc..
Seems like EQ is/has been a part of music for a long time, so it begs the question... why did so many tried their hardest to convince me to go with a C2700 Tube pre-amp over the C53 solid state, even though I prefer the sound of the C53... and in many cases, two that I can recall specifically, there was a complete disregards for the 8-band EQ option on the C53 as a plus... it was almost dismissed as useless...
Useless? Someone explain to me why/how EQ's are useless? Especially when dealing with smaller rooms, speakers, etc.. ?
