Analog Domain EQs

Anyone have any recommendations regarding equalizers that fully operate in the analog domain? I'm looking to do some room correction, but I don't want a digital component in my tubed-component chain. Ideally, the unit would have single ended inputs (as my system doesn't have XLR connections and I would prefer not to use RCA-XLR converters).

I can't figure out what type of upsampling/oversampling the DEQX performs....Ed, do you know?

Looking forward to your comments, Ed. I couldnt find any information on the DAC/ADC, except that its 24 bit - no word on upsampling. Where did you purchase yours?

ah, the DEQX is 24/196. Interesting...looking forward to your comments on the device. Are you connecting between your preamp and amp, or between your source(s) and preamp?

Socprof,

Your analysis is the same as mine: I don't want a digital EQ in my signal chain if there is hi-res source material playing. That leaves analog EQs as the only choices. Not many options, outside of Rives' solution and studio EQs. I'd be sure that you can define the frequencies, the Q, and the amount of attenuation (or gain) that you want to provide. Many of the studio EQs have few predefined freq bands, and limited ability to control Q outside of "narrow" and "wide" settings". If you find something of interest, please post - i'm quite interested.
