Hi Bengt,

I finally got around to testing your settings, thank you for sending 
them. Some notes on how I heard the changes:

0 - 120Hz cut off the low bass - I didn't cut much. As someone else 
pointed out, the loss of the bass affects other characteristics of the 
sound.

900Hz - 2000Hz with centre freq cut about 30dB - Ja, the standard cut. 
Sounds good when I cut lightly, not so good with too deep a cut.

4500Hz - 20kHz enhance about 10dB - Big differences with these settings 
in this range. Much better cymbal sounds, much brighter sound overall.

Btw, I tested these settings with the WAV and OGG versions. The OGG file 
got the greater assist, but IMO both were improved by a little EQ trickery.

Best,

dp
