That does sound like a HiFi bass tone control pot usually at around 100
Hz is cutting the bass ;), but I don't know what CDs and CD player you
own.
I don't think I have any instruments in my whole
studio that
could produce sound so anemic in the low mids as what I hear on CD's
without *lots* of cut
I guess you are speaking about "music" made with virtual synth. Sure,
absolutely no virtual synth can compare to vintage synth that use CEM
(Curtis) chips.
2) To figure out why I would want that. On most
decent speakers, it
seems to sound thin and lack authority. It's terrible having to cater
to the lowest common denominator.
And why do you want/need to do that?
Anyone else have this problem? Ever wish you could
turn up those low
mids just a little bit more and get some power underneath?
Just for my record player, since I wasn't able to pay for a new stylus
in the last years and I'm still using crappy Audio-Technica replacement.
However, you can't boost what's not there. I read that even a lot of the
old music was remastered, fortunately I own lot of LPs that even don't
have a bar code. Many of the young rock musicians (half as old as I am)
today record on analog tapes, playing original Mellotrons etc., so I
suspect you're listening to other music than I do.
