Equalizer in a Hi Fi system
@mijostyn  ive directly compared treble boost on neutron music player (also 64 bit processing) with Charter Oak analog. I liked treble better on CO in this scenario as well. Is neutron music player’s processing as resolving as DEQX?

Very interesting. Rob Watts has answered questions like this and has made himself very available on head fi. Will take this to there.

Another anecdote. My wife is Peruvian. We had a couple visiting from Peru and the husband was a lover of mountain folk music as well as the Mexican rock band Mana. I played some of the first by his guidance on Qobuz. He was deeply impressed by the...

Am though impressed as heck with the knowledge base of some of you guys😊

To all claiming to chase the unobtainable unicorn, you can get good enough with the right high end AND processing choices. Case in point. My small family of 3 had the good fortune to experience NY Phil play Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets ...

“Indeed, Chord’s new proprietary 104-bit processor has opened the Mojo 2 up to a smattering of new features” It’s in there. Can you now address the query?  104 bit vs 64 bit?  Just processing superiority of one methodology vs the other, stripping...

@tattooedtrackman , if you ever feel compelled to cut 10K on a thin recording, try fleshing out the mid bass, upper bass and lower mids instead. Little boosts with those.  Like 60 to 300 hz.  I hate cutting anything unless I have to.

@tshark , yes it’s funny I remember my ole 10 band JVC SEA-1 EQ even though it’s been 35-40 years!

“Sound Labs will go all the way to 20 kHz flat with the right amp. Fortunately for me the DEQX has a 4 way crossover and the Sound Labs has both a low frequency and high frequency transformers which can be biamped. The current plan is to drive the...

That’s totally awesome. My guy Ed at Audible Images will have one to demo in a few weeks. Look forward to going up and playing with one. Only out of sheer curiosity as I’m always stoked to hear my unit. You know you have a good one when every time...

We’ll…unless you’ve got a room like @kykat    that sounds pretty challenging!  Interesting about active traps.  given how many people have room modes I feel pretty lucky that my bass response is so even in my room

In other words what the artist intended doesn’t always translate post production. So being a good mastering mixing engineer is an art that must be very challenging. This why I like the cello palette Stereophile article so much. I just think that’s...

I do think there is more flaw to fix on the recording side than the playback side, assuming a reasonably good room. Otherwise why would my best recordings sound absolutely sublime on hi fi gear and not require any EQ?  Miro has said this as well p...
