Stereo EQ in the hifi world ...?

Every now and then (more often than not) I feel like I want to boost/cut some EQ beyond the capabilities of my amp. I know most purist guys will shy away from EQ ....any suggestions on a great stereo EQ that does not generate too much hiss/noise?

Looking at Technics / SAE etc....
thanks

That's a great question and I'm not quite sure how to answer it.
If I'm not mistaken I think @wolf_garcia uses the LOKI and he might be better able to answer that question.
Personally, when I use my LOKI, I adjust it for the CD that I'm specifically listening to. Seems to done the trick for me.

The Schiit LOKI is a high fidelity tone control that works very well and is somewhat inexpensive. I have heard no adverse effects.

For whatever it's worth (LOL) I agree with wolf's comments about the LOKI. I've tried many types of interconnects high priced to low and for an unknown reason (to me) it doesn't seem to matter, the music sounds clear and unobstructed. I would not concern myself about mixing interconnects.
