Equalizer in a Hi Fi system

The Michelangelo thread a Gearspace is amazing. Lot of great discussion also on digital vs analog. Another great quote:

”Agree with that 100%. Indeed nowadays some plugins "emulations" (aiming for analog color) are sounding quite great (and some free plugins are quite amazing tbh) but in a "real world mixing or mastering job" most of the times Plugins are still sounding "too much", or "too muddy", or "too bright" etc etc, where Hardware is still much more forgiving and musical. Too many time I end up bypassing plugins, where analog always stays on ”

@audiorusty running the cables around the perimeter is tricky because of two doorways to navigate either under or over. Old weird farmhouse. If I decide I really want it nearby then I'll put some more thought into it.

@ellajeanelle the API unit I recently purchased is completely silent in my system whether engaged or in bypass mode.I'm a novice at equalization being that this is my first professional eq component but Gearspace does have a wealth of knowledge to glean.Right now I'm much too biased in favor of what this thing does for my system to encourage anyone why or what to try.I'm enamored.

It’s Select SR 24. That equalizer will run circles round the Lokius!

A used Charter Oak PEQ-1 has popped up online. Sold by Guitar Center in Pt SAint Lucie FL. I will call tomorrow and find out what serial number and if it’s one of the good ones Mike Deming made.
