If everyone will permit me, I would like to share with you how overjoyed I am with the improvements in my rig; same TT but new cartridge and NOS tubes for the phono. Of course these same improvements are heard on computer playback, but let's disr...

My sacrilegeous question to audiophiles out there regarding parametric equalizer.
