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.

In other words what the artist intended doesn’t always translate post production. So being a good mastering mixing engineer is an art that must be very challenging. This why I like the cello palette Stereophile article so much. I just think that’s the biggest piece in the puzzle 

We’ll…unless you’ve got a room like @kykat   

that sounds pretty challenging!  Interesting about active traps. 

given how many people have room modes I feel pretty lucky that my bass response is so even in my room
 

I have Macintosh MA8900 .  I sparingly use its 5 bandequilizer. It helps with room acoustics. 

It’s interesting to see how “what is old, becomes new”. I had a ten band equalizer that I used with my first (nice) stereo receiver. Back in the1970s I had a Pioneer SX550 (can’t believe that the model number just came back to me!) with 20 WPC.

Stand back!

@kykat I posted my review Please go back to the page before this I believe. Quick reply >. I love the MQ112
