Equalizer in a Hi Fi system

@mijostyn appreciate your honesty in that you really haven’t tried what I’m talking about. Regarding playing around with various midrange frequencies I , again, prefer to adjust TONE, meaning bass and treble via the principles laid out in the Stereophile article about Levinson and his thoughts on playback EQ as well as the cello palette. I believe once you are with a good room and with high end gear and cabling that you don’t mess with the mids. So I don’t. I prefer to leave THAT to the sound engineers in production, as our gear far more likely to render flat (what artist intends us to hear is heard) in mids. Rolled off issues in treble though, I love to correct with my high end analog EQ. By the way, if one ever DID want to EQ in the mids or presence regions, good studio analog gear does it GREAT. the sound engineers who reviewed my CO online RAVED about how beautiful the 3 K dial sounds. In fact they raved that you can’t make the music sound bad with any dial adjustments on CO. I actually do often dial in a touch of mids on the 1-2 k some. 
listen…@mijostyn…I respect you and your experience and your approach. I bet you’re great at dialing it in digitally. We all have different sound preferences too. Please respect my approach and thoughts. I am a huge advocate of high end treble augmentation when needed (record dependent), and quite honestly I consider myself to have struck gold here with certain analog pieces. And Miro has commented on said analog air band and its beauty as well. Just please don’t make assumptions about gear you’re not that familiar with. I’m careful not do that with you.  Indeed, because I love this hobby so much, I’ll likely get my hands on a DEQX and really learn how it sounds and what it’s good and not so good at so I can be more experienced.

“I also would be willing to bet most studios are using digital equipment at this point. The analog stuff is being or has been phased out except in specialty studios dedicated to analog of which there are a few, not including MoFi😏”

@mijostyn , you are frankly in flat out denial over the importance of analog EQ in mastering studios. Please do yourself a favor and research that online. You will see what I mean. 

“Flat is boring and usually too bright. “

If this is true then your system is not flat. Plain and simple 

The best studio analog EQ 9-13 grand all made with the highest quality parts and would rival the best hi fi gear. Research that too online. This should be obvious. I think, anyway 

@mijostyn , I am impressed by your aptitude with implementing biamping and crossover techniques. These are things I know little about. I’ll bet your system does indeed sound really great. Probably different than mine. I might could beat you on some recordings that are older and lacking in tonality. But really great more modern recordings I’ll bet with the knowledge you’ve applied that your system really shines😊. I still think the analog air band in hi fi is “magic sauce.”  Well anyway, I’d be cool in a parallel universe to switch systems for a stretch and see what we learn. 
so you were an FP as well?  CONGRATS on being retired. So you’re in Fl as well?  Miami?
