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.

It’s interesting to see how “what is old, becomes new”. I had a ten band equalizer that I used with my first (nice) stereo receiver. Back in the1970s I had a Pioneer SX550 (can’t believe that the model number just came back to me!) with 20 WPC.

Stand back!

@kykat I posted my review Please go back to the page before this I believe. Quick reply >. I love the MQ112 

@tlcocks   Yes I do usually increase the 10k I meant to say that with the recording I’ve listened to many had to be cut due to high frequency in the recording. But a very good recording I do increase the 10k. I too love good bass and good treble but not bright. This certainly does it job well. 

That’s totally awesome. My guy Ed at Audible Images will have one to demo in a few weeks. Look forward to going up and playing with one. Only out of sheer curiosity as I’m always stoked to hear my unit. You know you have a good one when every time you fire it up it puts a smile on your face like you’re hearing good hi fi for the very first time. 😊

“Sound Labs will go all the way to 20 kHz flat with the right amp. Fortunately for me the DEQX has a 4 way crossover and the Sound Labs has both a low frequency and high frequency transformers which can be biamped. The current plan is to drive the high frequency transformer with a Bricasti M25. ”

@mijostyn , help me understand. I get the biamping plan with the Bricasti driving 5K up. So how many DEQX?  Just one for low end. Or two?  One for each amp?  Sorry confused, but want to understand
