Stereo EQ in the hifi world ...?

Every now and then (more often than not) I feel like I want to boost/cut some EQ beyond the capabilities of my amp. I know most purist guys will shy away from EQ ....any suggestions on a great stereo EQ that does not generate too much hiss/noise?

Looking at Technics / SAE etc....
thanks

Is there any truth to parametric Eq’s are less noisy & overall better than graphics?

SAE made equipment with parametric eq’s. The most favorite EQ’s by far from back in the day were made by Soundcraftsman.

I would go nuts with one of those EQs with dozens of sliders. OCD in overdrive.
