Equalizer in a Hi Fi system

HA!  Found in this thread a direct comparison to my Charter Oak:

”Very interested in this. I have a Charter Oak PEQ-1which is similar in process of using (stereo "feel" eq for broad strokes). I'd love to compare the 2. PEQ-1has such a wonderful hi sheen and can really fill in the low mids. Both are same price too, but completely different build with the HendyAmps being tube. Anyone have the chance to compare the 2?”

Response:

”I have used both units but not side by side....
I feel the Michelagelo has a bigger effect on the Audio as far as color..
The Hendy is very wide and 3 d sounding with more wow factor.
The PEQ-1 is actually a great program EQ but more flat in my experience.”

@mirolab , you’ll find the above interesting, as you’ve heard the Charter Oak

I may need to sell a few items out of my rack first, not only for the money, but to make space for a Michelangelo.

The review above is as enticing to an engineer like me, as it is horrifying to the audiophile purists out there, who are thinking, OMG... coloration!!  

My system low value and performance satisfy me right now...

But once said i will buy it immediately if i had another more high end system for which it can be justified... It is interesting , i spoke about this Michelangelo ... 😊

I know enough about acoustics to be a bit more enlightened than a "purist" ...

@mirolab , no worries for coloration if one can dial that to a minimum as on this device. After watching the video, I’m impressed with EVERY dial on the piece. Including the “Agression” Or color dial. I have read a lot of Gearspace threads on pieces. Never heard one raved about there so much as this one. I spoke to the owner Chris today and I plan on having him build me one. He said coming from the CO and the way I’m using that that it will fit in very well with my system.
