What I DID like about the Max is how transparent it is in flat position. But in boosting bass or treble frequencies to any degree beyond +3 or so (many older recordings warrant that) it just doesn’t have the same chops as a good pro piece has in boosting. But yes, in very small quantities of change it’s a wonderful box.
Equalizer in a Hi Fi system
Just curious to hear everyone’s opinions on using an equalizer in a high end hi fi system. Was at work tonight and killing time and came across a Schitt Loki max $1500 Equalizer with some very good reviews. What are some of the pros / Benefits and cons in using one. Just curious. BTW. I’m talking about a top of the line. Hi end equalizer. Mostly to calm some high frequencies and some bad recordings.

With mine you can turn treble pot up all the way (not that you’d do that) and a symphony still sounds like a symphony. With the max doing that was a noticeable loss in staging and SQ and unnatural sound set in. Change in quality of timbre or artifacts? Not sure. Big boosts just not as beautiful of clean. Small changes, yes, fine. |

Ok. I know this is not a Charter Oak thread. But it’s also not a Schiit EQ thread. I will stop sharing links about this wonderful device. So as not to annoy anyone here by being excessive. I just cannot say enough good things about this piece and felt I should share with the world how well it fits in a home stereo chain. Thanks for listening, and sorry for any over exuberance |
