Schiit Lokius anyone?

Maybe, just maybe, a few of the "no tone controls" manufacturers will pick up on this. A few, like Luxman, have been doing this a long time and I'm sure at least some of their sales were because of the inclusion of tone controls. Viva tone controls!

Hi secretguy, I would say ghosthouse’s excellent description of the lokius more than covers anything that I could ever write.

Big ditto on it is invisible to your system when on and all the tone controls in their neutral position, just wonderful.

My main reason for getting it was because I wanted to add just a "touch" of extra highs to my speakers presentation on some music. I really do mean just a touch, as I dislike anything approaching an excess of treble. My speakers are an unknown brand in the U.S., they are made by a Danish company called Avance International. They use all Scanspeak "classic" series drivers, including the silk dome tweeter. I now have the ability to add just the right sparkle to my highs at will. Hope this helps.

I'd certainly be interested in reading about your experience with the Lokius if you are ever inclined to write something up.  I share your aversion to "an excess of treble".    

I waited literally months for my Loki+.  
Excellent packaging and impressive looking build quality.
Hooked it up in and out with high quality Audio Quest King Cobra interconnects.
Plugged it in to my dedicated 12/2 20amp quad set of Audio Quest hospital grade, cryo treated 20 amp outlet.
Turned it on... immediately a bad hum occurred, it also runs hotter than my C-J premier 17 ls tube pre amp.  
Shut it off or bypass and the hum disappears.
Contacted C.S.  Took 5 tries to get a R/A to ship back for them to look at.
Wish me luck.....

Good luck! Quincy. Hope you get some satisfaction. I know someone else that recently (minus the hum issue) had the same experience as you with their Loki+: Long wait to get the unit, it ran hot, and took multiple attempts before finally getting an RA. Not sure what’s going on with Schiit.

FWIW, and not to be an apologist for Schiit, - the Lokius is completely silent (even though in proximity to a power conditioner) and only runs warm, not at all hot. If the Loki+ hasn’t turned you off completely, maybe be an option if you still want an equalizer. Nicely effective unit.
