hi.
The high mid and treble has always been weak on Golds, and bass overwhelms everything.
Has anyone found a way to stream an equalized signal from Spotify, Tidal etc please?
I would love to love my Phantoms but have never been able to do so because of this drastic imbalance.
Thank you in advance.

You can use the EQ in Spotify and use AirPlay. It doesn't work with Spotify Connect. Another solution is Roon if you use Tidal, Qobuz or local files. The night mode could also be kind of a fix. Have you tried a different placement of the speakers?

Most likely to do with your speaker placement. In a perfect room the phantoms frequency range are pretty much perfectly flat from 20-20000hz

Another vote for the Anti-Mode 2.0 Dual Core. USB in and Toslink out. Quite ideal for Phantoms! It's got analog inputs too if you need that. Analog in on balanced XLR or single-ended RCA. Digital out on the Toslink SPDIF.

Could roon do the job instead of the antimode device?

Roon can of course do this. It has an excellent DSP section, but Roon has no automatic correction built in so you'll need some additional things to get it done. And there is a learning curve and some DIY involved. I don't know how good the correction in Anti-Mode is, but I'm sure it is much easier to use (and get decent results) than many of the other solutions.

But i think with a good mic and REW software you could get a better result with Roon. Ok it not easier but you have tutos to follow. And for same price you get extra features like managing music library.

I do all correction in Roon. Convolution filters made in Audiolense + some PEQ. Sounds good. Note that REW (and I think Dspeaker) only does amplitude (frequency response) correction while Audiolense (XO) also corrects the timing aspect.
