Equalizer in a Hi Fi system

Charter Oak that I have is a very powerful equalizer. In other words you can boost a treble band up to +19 db with NO audible distortion and the resulting SQ is still hi fi, no significant loss of staging, dynamics or image resolution. While in that scenario of full boost that the treble is obviously too much for most records, it still sound GOOD. Still sweet, clean, undistorted, integrated well with the mids to still sound highly musical. It’s just remarkable. Of course, these are the reasons some sound engineers prefer this as the “final act.”  All I can say is I can certainly see why. 

It’s simply intoxicating. I can listen to my favorite music for hours and never get bored. It’s a beautiful thing. 

The right amount of air band in such gear opens up the ENTIRE mix, top to bottom, to better SQ. Timbre improvements too as the missing supra auricular harmonics and highest octave textures that are missing are restored.

Again, sorry the million posts. I’m still impassioned, and when good verbiage to express my listening impressions comes to mind, I have to type it. 

I have been using the Schiit Lokuis for a number of years and find it a valuable  item, when needed, and when not - Bypass, Simple.

@pooch2 I would have bought the Schiit Loki max if I didn’t hear about the McIntosh Q112. I am very happy with it but it woulda been nice to have a remote.
