The last recording that I listened to of Tony's was very clean. I commented as much.
Tony can actually play and sing... and he has an ear....and he writes cohesive and punchy lyrics quickly.
There was great clarity and good separation between the instruments and frequencies.

It was a little brittle for me, but some people like a crisp top end.

However...the discussion is about BIAB and EQing high/low/dynamics (or something) as you pointed out. In that specific regard I think Tony is just throwing out reefer talk.
Try to stay focused Gavin. wink
