Logic is not your forte

Let's see if you follow this.

You assert that one of the audible differences between old and new digital recordings is caused by "vinyl EQ"

I said that early digital problems were caused in part by the use of master tapes that had some EQ intended for vinyl on them.

Vinyl EQ is nothing like a treble control. It's only y'all what seems to think otherwise.

I ask the question so what is vinyl EQ? After first dodging the question, you respond to JC:

And, no, I am not talking about RIAA equalization.

And, yes, there are several kinds of EQ that were conventionally added to master tapes BEFORE RIAA (or the earlier forms) of EQ.

Fine. I stand corrected. My response is to correct my earlier statement with this:

My complaints of early CD players has nothing to do with the position of the equalizer, not treble control.

You then respond with this comment:

It has nothing to do with any normal sort of "equalizer", either.

Let's sit back for a moment and digest the facts:

1. I say adjust the treble.
2. You say "Vinyl EQ" is not like a treble control
3. I ask then what is it?
4. You respond that is it not "any normal sort of equalizer"

Ok. So if "vinyl equalization" is NOT "normal equalization" then ergo it MUST BE abnormal equalization. I used the term irregular instead of abnormal but any thesaurus will agree on the interchangeability of the terms:

"Regular - Synonyms: usual, normal, ordinary, customary, habitual, expected, accepted, conventional, standard, common"

The question remains: What is "normal equalization" as you put it?

Are you always this defensive and paranoid?
