Equalizer in a Hi Fi system

@tattooedtrackman , so in your chain your Audio Research cdp is your dac, which converts the code read off the disc to analog waveform. The rest of your chain is analog. Your MQ112 must go in between your preamp and amp. Perfectly super set up😊

I will bet you MQ112 beautifies the sound of your very good gear quite nicely, depending on the needs of the discs you spin

@mapman Thank you for showing me that. I do remember reading that in priors. 
@tlcocks Thank you for breaking that down for me. And yes that’s another reason why I also went for the McIntosh Q112 over the Schitt Max even though I did love the remote  , because the 112 really is a beautiful piece of gear and looks great with my high end gear  Much more than Schitt Max  

👍

right on!  It’s a great piece, im sure. Look forward to eventually hearing it!

If I ever need another EQ, when my CO dies, it will be DW Fearn VT-5. It’s stereo ganged (one set of controls, not two). It has adjustable master gain. It’s got passive LC circuitry with class A triode tube stages.  It’s a cool $10,900 new. 😆🎧🎶
