I would love a receiver that had a preset or allowed selectable equalizations. ![]() I haven't shopped receivers recently but I would think that this sound generation thing should have a lot attention paid to it. On this topic, at home, I have an aging receiver. If you listen to a wide array of music from different sources you, too, will always get back to 0,0,0 in your CTS. Even the gold standard of sound quality in the 70's ,"Dark Side of the Moon," can't hold a candle to the engineering on a Justin Bieber album. That's because the signal just isn't there because of the recording techniques of the time. Even some recent remasters of old albums will sound not so great (e.g., many Elton John albums). The older generation needs to come to terms that unless you are listening to a recent remaster of certain group's old albums (The Who, Tommy, for example) that your music SHOULD and WILL sound crappy on a perfectly equalized sound system. The difference between XM, HD radio, FM and CD is dramatic - and believe me, XM is not that great. If you're listening to a stretch of classic rock on XM and you adjust your sound system so it sounds good and then your kid gets in the car and puts on a new Rihanna CD, the bass will blow out the windows. Radio is probably the least likely to have this type of condition to consider.Ĭlick to expand.So, so true!!! This is a very common thing for non-audiophiles not to realize. Still, once you get a setting for your equalizer that suits your liking then it should give you the pleasure you want to listen to your music (overall) even though there are some inevitable variables from the source. Ever listen to one song by one artist at a set volume, change to a different song by another artist and leave the same volume setting and it is louder or quieter? I have. I think today's recordings are probably more consistent across the board but you still have differences. That is why you see so many "remastered" CDs of the same album coming out as time passes. The original recordings would have different levels of highs, mids, and lows and will vary from artist to artist and recording company to recording company. ![]() The source of your music is also a factor.Įxample: I have my whole CD collection (from the time CDs were available) on a 64gb thumb drive in MP3 format in my car and the older CDs are recorded with older technology and therefore sound reproduction comes out different from my newer CDs.
