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.

Note saturation is EVERYTHING in hi fi. You cannot have resolution without note saturation. If your EQ implementation doesn’t allow the full note saturation of true bypass, it’s simply not good enough.  You also cannot have good dynamics and PRaT and transience without full saturation. 

@tlcocks   My bad. I did remember reading about your system on P 3 👍. Also I too love Peter Gabriel. Funny u mentioned it. I just bought his 2 cd hits and also saw this new I/O cd with 2 different mixes on 2 CDs. Bright side and dark side mix. 

@tlcocks Do u ever plan to demo the McIntosh MQ112 ? I would really love to hear your opinion on it. For now at least check out the video on u tube done by Fernando at Sky Fi audio. That’s also the place I went to hear it and buy it. 

I do indeed, when Ed at Audible Images gets one in. He said a few months away. If I can find another dealer, I’ll try sooner. I intend to demo MQ112, DEQX and BACCH. Will be after holidays for all though
