I think this only works with grossly deficient recordings. I believe Levinson chose a historical recording as his example for the reviewer. But it allows the FM Acoustics listener to spend endless hours fiddling with the controls whenever an unpleasant sound is emitted from their system. Of course all those hours might better be spent getting the actual system to be more transparent and more tonally balanced but that is another thread.

Edit: The Levinson device was called the Audio Palette I believe.



A decade ago I used one of those Behringer EQ boxes with long cables to see how EQ impacted sound in "real time." I just spent a few hours fiddling with the controls. Frankly it was an educational an interesting weekend.

At the end of the weekend, I took out the box and moved on. 

For anyone thinking of trying this, it is a good display of how digital EQ kills sound. Also, whilst there are all kinds of "audiophile" mods for the Behringer, there are some core engineering flaws that can not be corrected.
