My amplifier doesn’t have tone controls, so I listen to everything exactly as is. So if something sounds great, it’s organically great. And if something sounds awful, I can tell instantly. (If I think an LP needs help, I’ll digitize it and then use Izotope RX10 to try and improve things.)

No shortage of great and near-great albums before and after, but the sustained consistency of that run is for the ages.
