Equalizer in a Hi Fi system
I like bright side better

Note saturation is EVERYTHING in hi fi. You cannot have resolution without note saturation. If your EQ implementation doesn’t allow the full note saturation of true bypass, it’s simply not good enough.  You also cannot have good dynamics and PRaT ...

The track “playing for time” is about to make me cry, it sounds so beautiful. I love Peter Gabriel. Going on a PG binge for a bit!

For all you Peter Gabriel fans. His new release “I/o” at 24/96 FLAC on Qobuz is awesome as well as sonically a production treat as well. Nothing like hearing our favorite artists from yesteryear recorded today with all the saturation, richness , a...

Highlights: Auralic Aries streamer > Bryston B135 SST2 integrated amp with onboard DAC > Martin Logan Montage dipoles.  Transparent cabling.  The Bryston has an unbalanced tape loop that is completely transparent. In it is contained the CO ...

Actually it’s all on page 3. See that page.

I haven’t done all that at Audiogon yet. It’s all on Head Fi. For HP chain. Sorry I haven’t done it on Audiogon for my loudspeaker chain yet. But I discussed all my gear down to the cabling pages ago. I’ll find it and paste it here again. It’s in ...

Rush is my favorite band of all time. Many of their albums varied considerably in production quality. Most of them benefit massively from high end EQ. The better the EQ, the better the enjoyment!  It’s interesting. I’ve found that some of their hi...

Thanks @au_lait !  Awesome. Agree totally with that 20khz and not higher. Yes, the 50khz boost sounds good on my CO, but it’s too thin down lower in the audible frequencies. While I have no doubt that switch is the bomb in a mastering studio, I fi...

I’ve never heard one. But I would venture to say yes, from what I do know. It’s legendary. Many in recording and hi fi circles consider it a landmark piece and a benchmark to which units over the years have been compared. Its sonics are from Mark ...

@au_lait , care to tell our digital EQ lovers here a little more about the sonics of the CP?

Oh wow. The legendary Cello Palette. NICE

@tattooedtrackman , I am stoked that you love your MQ112. Don’t be afraid to laud its praises repeatedly here. Because there’s a strong tide we’re swimming against of all digital EQ lovers who have never or not recently tried a high end analog pie...

Thanks @tattooedtrackman , alas I am not a professional. Just an avid listener and passionate tweaking audiophile. I may know a lot about how they sound in my home, but @mirolab is the professional with his own studio. He’s heard more than me. Bot...

Hate to disagree. I’ve commented extensively on this pages ago. My Charter Oak PEQ1 I’ve directly compared against Roon DSP using some digital shelf or bells in bass and treble regions. It DIDNT COME CLOSE to the SQ of the 2700 dollar analog piece...
