Equalizer in a Hi Fi system

@mahgister ,

I wish I could hear your naturally tuned system with the resonators you use coupled with your Sansui EQ!  I will simply bet for the relatively small monetary outlay that it sounds heavenly!

My first acoustic dedicated room takes me 2 years full time to make... (100 Helmholtz resonators among many others devices)

I sold my house 2 years ago by obligation...

 My second dedicated room is smaller and not comparable to the first, good but with smaller speakers, and in nearfield...

my main system is now  AKG K340 for serious listenings...

It rival my first room near it but do not beat it. No headphone can beat an acoustically well done system/room...

 It takes me 6 months to experiment with the K340... Trust me to optimize it you must understand how it work.... Expert headphone reviewer gave it a critics not completely positive because he did not know how to use them... It takes me 6 months  and using the patent...

All my other headphones sound like trash  ( 2 electrostatic, 2 planars  6 dyna«mics) i never go back to them again..

I used the sextett also designed by Dr. Gorike for my secondary system (documentary, series, youtube etc)..

My small speakers are so well embedded now i can listen music but it does not equal the K340 naturalness and holography...I use the Douk T8 pro tube  equaliser, for the low price which is very useful...

I dont need more because you cannot couple a thousand bucks equalizer with low cost active speakers...

 I wish i could bought the EQ you recommended but i will never upgrade my speakers systems and the K340 go astoundingly well with Sansui alpha tone controls...

I love folks like yourself, Denis, who are not afraid to seek out good quality treble tone control and Boost…for better space, timbre and harmonic structure in upper range. Often mids sound more realistic doing so, as I think you have also found.  Too many audiophiles absolutely do not know what they are missing because they are treble shy and only cut there. And likely that’s because of poor implementation on that tone control or EQ, making a boost sound bad. As I have said before, finding a true balanced transparent treble tone control that enhances the music boosted without degrading is truly a magic experience with hi fi gear. The true Keys to the Kingdom!

To the treble cutters, the truth is that if you added a modest nice broad bass shelf of  say 4 db or so and possibly a mild touch of mids boost, then you’d never cut treble. You’d want to boost with a high quality treble shelf or bell. When we hear  music and want to cut treble (lean, presence region forward with straight signal), it’s almost always better to do the boosts mentioned above than cut. But only if the EQ is up to snuff. You really need analog EQ to do this right. And almost every audiophile uses digital. Which doesn’t boost well, particularly in 2 or 3 places in the FR. Gotta be analog!
