A little update on aftermarket PCs from an EQ perspective. Joy of all joys, two great things are observed with my system nowadays. 1. More and better bass. Better more popping and detailed articulation in mids. These are great great baseline changes that I would always equivocate with better hi fi. 2. Surprisingly more headroom with analog bass boost so less prone to analog distortion. I didn’t expect this one. I love that at this point I have this current system maxed out completely. Only component or speaker upgrades can improve it now.
Aftermarket PCs really matter!
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.

@jtcf , still enjoying your studio equalizer? |
I am super curious how well treble target curves work when you have actively done crossover using your high end DSP system and biamping. So very curious. @mijostyn ? Comments? We’re talking a broad bell centered at 15khz with a Q of 0.65-1. 1 probably better and more natural. |
Giving @bigwave1 a shout out for favorably mentioning his Charter Oak PEQ-1 on “biggest influence on…” thread recently. Thanks Dave! Dave has always killer system. BTW, I brought my 3rd CO unit up to Audible Images in Melbourne FL. Heard it in between Mac tube pre and mono blocks driving Sonus Faber. The 20 k and 40 hz were glorious bands! |
