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.

@tlcocks  I think you are better off with a computer connected to it by USB. The ap has a steep learning curve. Using Dirac Live is easy, but getting use to the control functions of the SHD requires some learning as the program was written by Asians and they think differently then we do. I think trying to learn it on an iPad would slow you down. Once the SHD is full programmed to your liking all you need is the remote.

Having looked now at both manuals, it appears the Trinnov is easier to use and understand. It’s considerably pricier but with that SHOULD come better results sonically. Within the next year or less, I will buy and try a Trinnov Amethyst. 

If your speakers have a crossover chances are you are using an equalizer.

My speakers cross over at 2.5 kHz. Dipole tweeters to midrange woofers. I only use a pro analog EQ for tone control. Did you mean somehow an equalizer built into the speakers?  I’m confused.
