> The last time I tried Normalize on Spotify - it totally messed up dynamic range and made everything sound awful.
That must have been quite some time ago, Spotify has been doing normalization properly for over a year now - https://artists.spotify.com/en/help/article/loudness-normalization

Reply to comment by SHERIFF_HARDIN in how should i compare these autoeq results and decide which one to use? by SHERIFF_HARDIN
It's not the same. It's based on his measurements, but it's automatically generated (and that's where the name actually comes from).
Oratory measures the headphones himself, listens to them and fine-tunes the settings by ear. Looking at his PDFs you can also see that his presets are easier to tinker with, as he specifies bands that you should adjust to preference.
It doesn't mean that oratory's presets will be better for you, but his approach seems more correct.
In the end all comes down to your preference, if you like some of the AutoEQ presets more then feel free to use it and enjoy.

I would use an actual preset from oratory rather than automatically generated one - https://www.reddit.com/r/oratory1990/wiki/index/list_of_presets

The spider graph that they include in product page explaining "sound features" of the cable is really funny.

Output impedance.

Reply to Why don’t we see more dynamic tests for audio gear? by shiny_potato
Because frequency response makes them irrelevant. CSD, impulse response - it's the same data presented in a way that's harder to interpret.
