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.

I had it in my chain for a month. Loved it. It performs wonderfully as an outboard tone box. It has incredibly clean and powerful treble boosting ability (which was comparable to my beloved CO EQ. Bass more than adequate for most applications. And it could execute very seamless effective gentle cuts when called for. Excellent noise floor. Transparent on flat. I think you’d love it. If I didn’t like my Charter Oak PEQ-1 a smidge better I’d still own it. 

I am not an ‘only booster’ anymore. Better power delivery to PEQ-1 with better power cables has me experimenting. I have found there are several ways to EQ to taste, some of which involve gentle cuts. And they all sound great. Love the aftermarket cable on the EQ. Its Audience F3. Saturation, dynamics and ‘pop’ is off the charts now. PEQ-1 can do anything pretty much anything and sound good. 

@mijostyn ,

can you give me a brief update on your progress with DEQX?  I am still very interested in hearing the final smoothed out product at its best. I would love to hop a flight/ plan a little trip around paying you a visit to meet you and hear a demo of exactly what state of the art DSP is capable of doing. 😊🎶

If it makes you happier and adds to your musical experience then of course!
