Equalizer in a Hi Fi system

Understood.  Any crappy component in the signal path can possibly do more harm than good. 

But then again, compared to the distortion in frequency response from speakers and room modes, seems like at least room correction done properly would be big improvement.  I have heard a lot of folks mention they do room correction and I cannot remember any of them less than seriously happy with the improvement.

I don't know for sure but I expect that most of those mix boards nowadays used in music production are op amp based electronics. And no track is getting to our systems without going through those...

Not all music is fabricated in studio...

I listen classical and jazz and Persian and Indian mostly and a bit of Africa ...

i cannot support most commercial and rock pop and anything too much artificial ...

i use analog tone control , even EQ for my headphone optimization Harman curve ...

I prefer acoustic instrument as a piano with a well done recorded timbre by a talented sound engineer ...

Studio music created by mixing , no thanks ...

I would have tinnitus ...

Music heal or kill say my body to my brain ...My heart listen ...

Pretty much every track we ever listen to gets run through something like this dude before we ever hear it. So why would a little EQ in the home listening room upset any purists?

I don’t get it.

I have 6 band on my Cello Palette and it is 🤌🏼

Oh wow. The legendary Cello Palette. NICE

@au_lait , care to tell our digital EQ lovers here a little more about the sonics of the CP?
