I noticed a lot of people are favoriting this screen grab of the "Perfect" iTunes equalizer setting (I posted it to Flickr, so I won't keep forgetting it when I need it).
Ever since I saw this in that Mac OS X Hints article, I've used it as my default equalizer in iTunes -- it seems to give a nice pop to MP3 tracks in particular. HOWTO and specific settings from the original article:

I think this sounds better to some because it's louder. In A/B tests, louder almost always sounds better. Try this with a piece of music you know really well: take the "Perfect" setting and turn the preamp down -5 or -6 dB so the volume is roughly the same whether EQ is on or off. Then flip the EQ on and off and listen. Like the results? Good, use it and enjoy. For the music I listen to and the ear buds I use, "Perfect" is "Not So Good." I agree with the previous posters: Flat is best but if your recording and/or equipment are lacking in some way a little EQ can help. » POSTED IN:
