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.

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 

@tshark , yes it’s funny I remember my ole 10 band JVC SEA-1 EQ even though it’s been 35-40 years!

@tattooedtrackman , if you ever feel compelled to cut 10K on a thin recording, try fleshing out the mid bass, upper bass and lower mids instead. Little boosts with those.  Like 60 to 300 hz.  I hate cutting anything unless I have to.
