I expect a lot of Audiogoners would urge you to eschew equalizers, but I think they're OK for the right applications.
I'm happy with a Rane ME 60, a semi-pro analog stereo equalizer with thirty sliders per channel featuring one-third octive bands. Alternatively, the old Cello Palette was well regarded as a high end product back in its day. It had fewer bands, but it may be more appropriate for your hot CD-taming needs. Sorry I have had no experience with the Behringers.
