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....

I dont doubt that the Sansui EQ is very good...
I always used a Sansui alpha for my headphone, especially after i tried one year ago one of the top tube headphone amplifier to replace it... ( i will not name it because it is a good headphone amp no doubt,if not i would have not order it, but not for my K340 picky needs, no headphone amplifier can drive the K340 ideally ) It takes me 15 minutes to return it back so much the difference was huge on all count (save the noise floor level way better with this upgrade costly linear power supply which go with it even if the Sansui noise floor is good it is not pure black but all other factors were completely absent, holography, timbre naturalness, out of the head soundfield, physical tactile bass etc ) The Douk T8 pro is peanuts cost and do not introduce noise... ( audible from my system) I will not use the Douk in a costly system... But i can recommend it for anyone who cannot put a 2,000 bucks equalizer in a few thousand bucks audio system for sure... I am curious to compare the Douk to any equalizer under 500 bucks...
