AutoEQ profiles making it worse? (sometimes) (alien.top)

After a few years away. I am thrilled to discover AutoEQ, bought SoundSource, and got the ball rolling.

The problem is the profiles based on Crinacle's charts. They all sound excessively bright, vocals sound distant and the bass is neutered. I tested it with everything I have on hand and nothing sounds remotely usable. Male vocals sound like an Eunuch and female vocals sound like someone whispering across the street.

I downloaded the Reveal plugin and it is amazing. Unfortunately, it's only for Audeze phones. Crinacle has got the most profiles and is great when I want to test new things.

Am I doing it wrong? Do you use the Crinacle profiles?

I don't use AutoEQ. The only EQ I use is Poweramp on my phone.

You can also enable AutoEQ in PowerAmp, BTW.
