| Equalizer in a Hi Fi system “It’s important to get an overall bearing of the setup contexts here to get fuller picture and what was the deciding factor to account for your less than enthusiastic response to these setups. I would say the DSP’s themselves used in the setups yo... | |
| Equalizer in a Hi Fi system “What setups have you heard with the implementation of DSP (not necessarily meant as a total lineup, but just some examples), and in which capacity were the DSP sections used - merely as a digital crossover, only digital room correction, or both?”... | |
| Equalizer in a Hi Fi system “ If not your EQ device becomes a sonic factor in itself as something that contributes to the sound, and not in a good way.” Wrong. A great analog studio EQ can and does add its own special color sauce if you will which can be all improvements, n... | |
| Equalizer in a Hi Fi system No, demo opportunity never came. I’m in Florida. I’d drive. So sorry my gear is not formally listed. I have listed it like 3 times in this thread. It’s Auralic Aries streamer via high quality Bryston dig coax > Bryston B135 Integrated SST2 with... | |
| Equalizer in a Hi Fi system And no, I’m not guardian of the thread. Just very passionate about what I am hearing with the gear I’ve acquired. A great studio analog EQ in a hifi rig is a sound to behold. And no, they’re not all great. Like anything else to achieve greatness t... | |
| Equalizer in a Hi Fi system Oh I’m not closed minded to hearing it all. I’ve said that many times I want @mijostyn or you or someone to put me in touch with a good demo. Always exploring. The journey never ends. I was impressed by BACCH preamp. I’d love to be impressed by DS... | |
| Equalizer in a Hi Fi system I won’t go into how much better (again) studio mastering analog ideally with a hardwire bypass sounds compared to DSP. Read the whole thread. This war was fought already. It’s actually a great thread. Go back and read if if you’re so inclined. | |
| Equalizer in a Hi Fi system Now it’s late next week. Arghh! Being built now. | |
| Does Every Track Sound Great on Your System? Do we 1: Optimize to bring the very best out of the very best recordings, or 2: Optimize to bring the best out of the broadest range of recordings. i quite literally do both all the time. Easily. | |
| Does Every Track Sound Great on Your System? I recommend all audiophiles try both the LM and a studio piece. As I have done. I’ve tried LM, CO, Avalon, Millennia, Skyline, and soon to be Hendyamps Michelangelo. Only your ears can tell you what’s sonically best to you. But when you hear it, i... | |
| Does Every Track Sound Great on Your System? The biggest difference between analog and digital EQ is the naturalness and decay of cymbal strike, those attributes being much better with analog. But there are great advances recent years in digital algorithms, and the gap is closing. I still pr... | |

| Does Every Track Sound Great on Your System? Just search “equalizer in a hi fi system Audiogon on google. That’s how I pull it up | |
| Does Every Track Sound Great on Your System? Oh, there I also described my one listening experience with BACCH preamp. Is the real deal. See other thread. | |
| Does Every Track Sound Great on Your System? @wsrrsw , thanks. There was a lot said about digital vs analog and BACCH on the other thread I had mentioned. I won’t repeat here. Suffice to say here that I prefer analog EQ for preserving naturalness, soundstage, transience, 3D and timbre. It’s ... |
