A couple of recent trends have given me food for thought, and I know this may seem like heresy to some, but bear with me . . .
Number One - The many reports of people flattening out excessive peaks in both treble and bass by using an appropriate app (in the case of their smartphone) or good quality programs (in the case of their P.C.’s) thereby equalising their perceived FR by electronic means.
Number Two - Fran’s ability to take a headphone, measure it on his ‘head-rig’, modify it, and build a bespoke filter to equalise said headphone to be as flat and accurate as is reasonably possible.
In my case, I don’t listen to my music on a smartphone, tablet, or PC-via-Foobar, or equivalent ; I couldn't stand to have a PC running near me to listen to music, with all its noise, no remote control, computer-based faffing about, fan, etc. I just scroll, highlight, and press play.
So why not have one reasonably accurate headphone, and a decent graphic equaliser??
That way you could even out the bumps.
Album recorded too bright? Take the treble frequencies down a notch or two.
Too much mid? Lower them slightly.
Not enough bass? Add in some 30Khz.
Thoughts, comments??
Frans, as you know, I am an electronic numpty, and have no in-depth technical knowledge.
So, if you rip me to shreds in your reply (in a polite Dutch way), please do so in a language that I will understand, I.E. as though you were trying to explain Einstein's Theory of Relativity to a ten-year-old!!
