Especially Entropy 1 - overture has no compression of any kind.
Nearly direct output of the synthesizers.
No equalization either. I dislike equalization as well because
it makes the music sound different than I intended with
the original sound.

How about a passive Equilizer maybee they would not add much unwanted sound and colour ect

I think i use too much eq in my music because my speakers and amp are S**te
but i think if you want it to sound right in general you will have to use at least a small amount of equilization.

even if it's to match the sound of all the instruments in a recording.

but then again a muffled or relaxed sound on say a keyboard might be the effect you want so it dosent sound so upfront in a piece of music.. It's all just a matter of taste but in general i say only use small amounts of eq.
