An alternative to having an equaliser in the system is to take the recording into a DAW and remaster it oneself. The difficulty with any form or post production equalisation, whether permanent or on the fly, is that if a track sounds bad, the problems are usually from the recording and mixing phase. And if the mastering engineer couldn't solve those, one is probably stuck with them. In my experience, you can make a really bad recording sound less bad, but you'll never make it sound good.
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.

@mirolab Good to hear your experiences. I totally agree about over-compression. I've pretty much given up buying modern rock and pop releases because of them being over compressed and over eq'd. It's like a cheap wine, a big burst of fruit and then....nothing. |
