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.

For all you Peter Gabriel fans. His new release “I/o” at 24/96 FLAC on Qobuz is awesome as well as sonically a production treat as well. Nothing like hearing our favorite artists from yesteryear recorded today with all the saturation, richness , and fullness of the modern day’s studio’s capabilities. Real treat. Listening to this album on lunch break right now on my HEKse chain. Mind scrambling!

The track “playing for time” is about to make me cry, it sounds so beautiful. I love Peter Gabriel. Going on a PG binge for a bit!

Note saturation is EVERYTHING in hi fi. You cannot have resolution without note saturation. If your EQ implementation doesn’t allow the full note saturation of true bypass, it’s simply not good enough.  You also cannot have good dynamics and PRaT and transience without full saturation. 

@tlcocks   My bad. I did remember reading about your system on P 3 👍. Also I too love Peter Gabriel. Funny u mentioned it. I just bought his 2 cd hits and also saw this new I/O cd with 2 different mixes on 2 CDs. Bright side and dark side mix.
