Now that I'm pushing 60 it's clear my relative perception of tones has shifted somewhat. Although I've had no reason to have my hearing formally tested, as someone involved in video and audio production (as well as being a long-time home theater enthusiast), I have enough digital media samples with which I'm intimately familiar I can tell the sound has shifted from what it was.
Lately I've been thinking about trying one of those mobile phone apps which give you a test of different frequencies and then provides and EQ preset to correct signals (as much as possible). However, I haven't yet because so far I've yet to find any which which disclose any real detail about they're doing and how. As somebody familiar with high-end audio DSP processing from the production side, I kind of what to know what it's doing and how much theoretical support and/or rigor there is behind it. Would love any suggestions...

Love it, beyond the Baxandall I kinda sort miss just a single passive "tone" treble-cut control, often found on low-end cars like the '92 Tercel I drove into the ground. It's not the same as having bass/treble/loudness, but to boost bass you learn to turn up the overall volume and then take off enough treble so that it's bassier overall...same exact scheme as on a passive electric guitar/bass. Also, for any car with speakers in the trunk, fade toward the rear a little to boost the bass naturally.
I'm really a one knob per function kinda person when it comes to audio, and IMO burying digital tone controls in multi-level menus in cars is user-hostile and unsafe.
