“I met Mike at NAMM in Anaheim, January 2014. I was looking at his EQ, and he talked me into buying the compressor as well. I wrote him a check on the spot for both, and took them home after the show. So I suppose technically they should be called demo units, but only demonstrated by Mike, and from the looks of them, very little. I used them briefly for an archival restoration, and then put them back in their boxes, and forgot about them until years later when I moved. That's the truth!
Oh, I have my check stub for the purchase, that I can show you if you are serious about buying them. Also, I did just take them out and test them on my AP, and they are fine in all respects. No scratchy pots or other age-related issues.”

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 use two low cost equalizer... One was the Douk tube equaliser TB pro 7 levels for my low cost powered speakers... With success at peanuts cost... Great immediate improvement... ( i add others improvements at no cost but it is impossible now to communicate some experiments without being mocked ) I use the internal equalizer of my Hidizs to improve greatly the AKG K340 hibtyd... Not only that but i use the tone control of the Sansui alpha... Why ? Because there is 2 cells working in the K340, one electrostatic and one dynamic with a crossover at 4,000 Hertz... I max the highs on the tone control and the highs already good become celestial... Not only i had deep clear bass as the heaviest organ tone, but the violin put me in ectasy... The mids are totally natural... It takes me 6 months of research and experiment with 6 optimizations modifications even reading the patent of Dr. Gorike to understand how this TOP headphone can work with his 5 resonators and his dual acoustic chamber volume. (it is the more complex ever designed because most use only one type of cell ,planar dynamic or electrostatic...) Tone controls and equalization for a better S.Q. is as claimed by tlcocksmay help most and helped especially me because this K340 puzzle... It was not necessary to pay big money....In my case....
