hi,
In most of headphone equalization adjustments (Oratory, Amir, etc.), the preamp gain settings are mostly set to minus something. I can well understand why, some frequencies are going to but raised in the EQ and we do not want them to distort the signal.
but when I do an A/B comparison (no EQ vs EQ with minus preamp), the equalized signal always sounds quieter, so it is difficult to compare the two options.
My solution is to raise the output gain of the EQ, so that the two signals have the same loudness. Is that a good idea?
How do you deal with this issue?
thanks.
