Equalizer in a Hi Fi system
@mirolab , can you or anyone else enlighten me on how sound engineers can run several pieces of gear in series in their chain, sometimes like 8, and not have to worry about degradation of signal. This is as opposed to we audiophiles worrying about...

Actually never mind, @mirolab. The dealer at Guitar Center called and gave me my requested test results. I asked for a number of things to be done. There is disproportionate hiss in right channel. It’s audible with quieter passages of music. That’...

I have called about the used Charter Oak PEQ-1. It’s the right serial number. Deming era. I own 2 already. I am likely going to scoop it up, as it’s the best sounding studio stereo program EQ I’ve ever heard. That is, unless @mirolab wants it. Mir...

A used Charter Oak PEQ-1 has popped up online. Sold by Guitar Center in Pt SAint Lucie FL. I will call tomorrow and find out what serial number and if it’s one of the good ones Mike Deming made.

The Michelangelo thread a Gearspace is amazing. Lot of great discussion also on digital vs analog. Another great quote: ”Agree with that 100%. Indeed nowadays some plugins "emulations" (aiming for analog color) are sounding quite great (and some ...

“Well I can confirm what others have said here about the Michelangelo. It's absolutely insane. It just makes music sound like a record like nothing ever heard. Glorious highs, thick mids, deep usable lows. I redid a couple masters that I had done ...

@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 piec... 
Are there other people like me ? Amazed by their low cost system :)
I am indeed amazed at how good a pro analog hardware EQ properly implemented sounds in my low cost system

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

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 h...

The following just a really good example of the kind of stuff you’ll read on a sound engineer mastering thread: ”Got my Hendy Michelangelo a few weeks ago... it's beautiful looking in real life, the front panel is electric blue and the dials kind...

On the Michelangelo thread I mentioned above the sound engineers are repeatedly comparing it favorably to the Knif Soma, a legendary EQ, and saying they are reaching for it before Soma. Those who have both. Incredible.

Just watched/listened to the HM in action through my headphones on YouTube. I am SEDUCED!  What a fascinating and amazing sounding unit!  It’s hard to make it sound ‘wrong’. Much like my Charter Oak. But with the tube saturation effect making it a...
