I have found that no mater what you are listening to set the the high and low peak apx the same and the mid a bit lower than those two. then take the middle of those and drop them down and play it by ear. in the end it should look like a messed up w. Never let me down yet.

In my quest to answer the same question i found a helpful tidbit in basic wave forms all the freqs are in Hz or kHz.  at that point remembered the speed of a computer is measured on the same freqs so Hz being a lower "speed" it would also be a lower sound and kHz would then be the mid and treble ranges. do i have that right or am i totally off base here?

Expertise

I`m a lifelong audiohead and have been a professional audio writer for over five years, reviewing CD players, turntables, amplifiers, preamplifiers, speakers, and assorted ephemera. I can answer your questions about how to audition equipment, what to consider when buying, and how to deal with retail dealers. I`m not an engineer or technician, so I can`t tell you how to fix a burned out tube or a malfunctioning channel. And since I haven`t heard and/or reviewed every available product, I can`t tell you if Brand A`s Model X is better than Brand B`s Model Z. But I *can* tell you how to listen, how to shop, and how to take the stress out of buying audio gear.

Experience

I've been a staff writer for The Sensible Sound, a small audiophile trade journal, for ten years. I review audio equipment and write a CD/music review column each issue.
