Second the recommendation for a Schiit EQ -- they have three options. The Loki Mini is only $150 and offers four bands. The Lokius is $300 with six bands (and offers balanced XLR in/out as well as RCA) and the top-of-the-line unit is the Loki Max for $1,500 which is six bands but with all the stops pulled out (relay potentiometers, full inductor coils, remote control, etc.)

@sureshmirchand -- just a thought, but one other question for you. How does live unamplified music sound to you? The reason I ask is that the brain is pretty good about making adjustments as our hearing ages. I'm in my 70s and hear nothing above roughly 12KHz but live music sounds just as good to me these days as it ever has. So, if live music still sounds good but your system doesn't, it might be that you need to look at something other than just tweaking treble up. |
Agree with @hifiman5 -- the Lokius gives you a bit more flexibility in the upper range. The Loki Mini does 2K and 8K in the treble while the Lokius does 2K, 6K and 16K. Keep in mind that the highest note on a piano is 4,186 Hz. Everything above that is harmonics. Only percussion instruments like snares and cymbals have any fundamental output over that. |
