Wrong approach for audiophiles
As an audio engineer and producer with 18 years of experience in the field working in some of the 'finest studios in the world', I'm confident in saying that this approach is backwards.

I knew someone would beat me to subtractive equalization. Yes, this is the proper way to use an EQ. Amplifiers are for amplification.

Excellent! I love the way it sounds. I named this "negative" preset, "Perfect Negative". Thanks!

I registered to this website just to say thanks. Good advice on the usage of negative settings and adjusting the preamp.
Email update...
Unless my eyes deceive me at this 'early' hour, I actually got the math right the first time and my "negative" setting is true to the original.
Scripted: Wrong approach for audiophiles
Since I didn't want to pay the dual price of volume logic, I am using the iTunes EQ with the subtractive settings. For convenience, I've modified the above script and guessed with the preamp setting though it seemed better at 6 than 12 and using the above logic, it should be greater than zero. HTH.

FYI, so far as I can see, you need to have the EQ in "manual" mode.
Wrong approach for audiophiles
I've been doing this wrong for quite some time, apparently. After a few tweaks, I find that this method produces what I can only describe as tighter sound. My old mecca preset sounds messy and distorted compared to this, which was a bit of a rude awakening.

I currently have +8,+2,0,+2, +2, -2, -7, -6, -1, +2 for classical. This seems to make the sound tighter than the "flat" preset. I came up with these numbers after I had the idea of isolating each band by putting two bands to the left and two bands to the right at -12, with all others at 0. Then I would adjust the isolated band until the sound was a little below an unnatural sound. Then I took the average of all settings (+4.4) and lowered everything by 4 to get an average around 0. What is a good method for adjusting each band? Looking at my settings, I certainly wonder if I may have "misheard" 2K and 4K, since they're set so low.

I created these settings on MacBook Pro and they seem to sound pretty good on Nano (gen 2) with Shure E3c (which are "flat").
