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

Someone did ask earlier about using with an integrated amp.
Is that possible with a unit like the Loki?
I cannot really see how myself.
I've used all sorts of equalizers over the decades and have an SAE in my basement someplace...I use a little two channel graphic EQ in a live mixing rack, and some parametric EQ, but otherwise haven't used one in my hifi rack for decades because hey...they generally SUCK, except for the Loki, which when needed is amazing for all the reasons mentioned, foremost being that it's the only EQ I've encountered (I avoid digital domain EQ for home listening, but that's another topic anyway) that is utterly transparent.
@wolf_garcia, can you expound on the subject of digital EQ in a HiFi system? Not talking about DEQX, interested in traditional EQ.

I misquoted. The ME60 ( all 3 versions ( time period of manufacture, I own the 2nd ) have balanced XLR connections. The ME60S did away with the single ended rca jacks. The ME60 can be had for very little ( I have seen them as low as $89. from Guitar Center ). Enjoy ! MrD.
