If you always listen at low levels, have you considered turning up your subwoofers?
I have a Lokius. I bought it with the idea of equalizing old vinyl, but after upgrading my vinyl playback system, I didn’t feel that I needed it. I barely used it, but it seemed to work fine. Wasn’t noisy, etc.
I don’t like introducing another component and cable in the chain, but it’s supposed to have a true bypass. My preamp at the time had a tape/eq loop.
