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.

With mine you can turn treble pot up all the way (not that you’d do that) and a symphony still sounds like a symphony. With the max doing that was a noticeable loss in staging and SQ and unnatural sound set in. Change in quality of timbre or artifacts?  Not sure. Big boosts just not as beautiful of clean. Small changes, yes, fine. 

Ok.  I know this is not a Charter Oak thread. But it’s also not a Schiit EQ thread. I will stop sharing links about this wonderful device. So as not to annoy anyone here by being excessive. I just cannot say enough good things about this piece and felt I should share with the world how well it fits in a home stereo chain. Thanks for listening, and sorry for any over exuberance 

Just go with your ears! As you age you will become less perfect in your hearing, and thus less competent at listening. And not everyone was born with a perfume nose where their ears are to start with (perfect pitch anyone? How many can tell the tt rpm is running at 33 and 2/3? The idea is to please yourself! Go ahead, EQ that John Denver, I won't judge....  No, really optimize YOUR listening experience.
