Equalizer in a Hi Fi system

I have the Loki...Love it....But I'm ordering the new McIntosh MQ 112...For 3K it's a winner.

tlcocks  No offense to you or anyone but I gave Schitt a try by buying 3 components for a guest room and all 3 had issues of some sort and had to return them all.  Horrible customer service and subpar product in my opinion, and yes I am talking about their so-called top of the line stuff.  The saying you get what you pay for definitely applies to Schiit based on my own personal experience with them.  As far as well regarded, as you mentioned, definitely not to me. Perhaps as paper weights.

To anyone reading this, if you enjoy and are happy with your Schitt products, congratulations and enjoy, just don't try to convince me, because I won't even respond. They have made my permanent "never buy again list", together with other companies which I will not mention for the sake of not initiating a back-and-forth and time-consuming discussion in vain.  Peace...

@mbmi I have had the brand new Mac MQ112 now for about 4 months or so. And all I can tell you it’s a fantastic EQ. And it looks awesome with my ARC gear. Another reason I didn’t want to go with the others mentioned is that they looked very industrial to me also. That alone was a big reason not to buy them. U will be extremely happy with the MQ112. 👍

“Thanks to both of you for the info on the EQ.  I am definitely going to do more serious research into the API equalizers.  It may sound picky, and you can call it girl stuff, but I want them in black and no rack mount ears, or removable ears.  Only one of them will be going on a rack, the others not.  I like everything to match! “

totally get that. My EQ has to look black, full height, and beautiful. Not just sound great. Yeah…that with needing stereo ganged controls leaves, like, 2 units out there that fit the bill!
