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.

@tattooedtrackman Look at the SkyFi video at 49:00 and see what circuitry $3000 buys you, and then look at the Massive Passive video, and look at what $6000 buys you. There is certainly more than twice as much going on in the Manley unit! I'm not putting down the MQ112 at all.... I'm actually considering one! I got my MassPass used over 10 years ago, for around $2700. It sounds gorgeous, but you need 2 hands to drive it. You really want ganged controls for stereo program eq-ing. @stonyb3165 Proclaiming that a Loki Max is all "ANYONE" needs is a bit presumptuous. You could have just said "is all I need". Other people may have different needs, or sense of aesthetics. The Loki Max would look stupid in @tattooedtrackman beautiful system. The MQ112 looks perfect!!

@mirolab Understood. Let talk about aesthetics. The Loki Max TO ME looks extremely cheap and small, not blending in well with my system. The Massive Passive is I’m sure a phenomenal piece of equipment but way to big and way to industrial looking for my taste. If I had a recording studio and doing mixes etc I’d definitely buy one. And I agree that what u said “ The MQ112 looks perfect in my system And sound beautiful. That is all that I needed. IMO. |
In this video the reviewer prefer a chinese EQ with tube to the Lokius...At less than half the cost... 130 bucks versus 299 bucks ... Diverse needs and diverse opinions indeed ... My system cost speakers,amplifiers,dacs, headphones all included is way under 1000 bucks... I am not interested to pay for a 1000 bucks EQ nor to buy a Lokius at his actual price ... The T8 seems better option at his cost and FOR ME and my system the best option ... Each audio system has his potentials...Mine is limited even if it is already so good i dont need upgrades at all cost ...I am on the minimal acoustical satisfaction threshold ... It would be ridiculous with my system to buy a Manley EQ at 10,000 bucks ...The owner of the Manley own a system aimed toward what i called : the maximal acoustical satisfaction threshold ...
