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.

Yes. The over compressed loud rock records are also harder to make sound “right” even with the analog studio EQ I use. Back to DAW and true remaster better, but I’ll never do that. Miro forte there. Great discussion!

incidentally, for said rock albums described above, I STILL think they sound better than flat doing post production analog EQ. There’s just less headroom to play with. Potential for distortion with too much boost. 

So @scottwheel , you have a BACCH preamp?  And obviously you like?  I may try this before playing with DEQX.  we are in the golden age!  So much good technology!

I will report my impressions on skyline M3D vs my Charter Oak as soon as I can. M3D ships TODAY. I can hardly contain my excitement!

I have the BACCH4Mac which runs through an RME Fireface UCX II digital interface and a Mac Mini CPU. Saying I like it does not put the proper perspective on it. Once you have lived with it there is no going back. Conventional stereo and Dolby Atmos simply sound broken in comparison 

I will report my impressions on skyline M3D vs my Charter Oak as soon as I can. M3D ships TODAY. I can hardly contain my excitement!Looking forward to it!

. I finally decided to order a Lokius just to take a tentative first step. If the results show promise then maybe move on to something else with more fine tuning.
