My friend is a different sort of audiophile. He finds every setup and location to be a new opportunity to hear the music he loves in a way that he’s never heard it before.
I always struggle with that for equalizers. I think, I understand the concept, but no matter how much I fuck up the sliders on the equalizer, I always find it interesting more than anything else. It sounds different, sure enough, but is it better or worse? No idea.
Oooh oooh oooh! Now’s my chance to say a snobby thing! “They’re called faders, not sliders.”
I learned this from also calling them sliders.
Also, when I get to run a camera for work, I like fucking with the AV guys by asking them to “turn down the sound dimmer, I can hear myself too loud on the headset.” (The comms mixer has knobs to control this at my end.)

Your friend is one of us. A normal audiophile!
That’s really cool!! I’ve never thought about doing that but it reminds me of this:

Does he have any samples of where he’s experimented at?
Samples? No. He just listens and enjoys. And pulls out some measuring equipment, lol
