It’s far and away the BEST EQ discussion forum ever. Avoiding the boring diatribe of audiophiles bashing EQ in general, one. And two, we have a resident expert on the digital side with @mijostyn and a resident expert on the analog side with Miro.

@mijostyn  i stand to LEARN the most from you, by the way, as you are deep into the digital side of high end. As much or more as I am the analog side. And your equipment is top notch. So bear in mind while I call have called you out on your conde...

@mijostyn   understand and your comments duly noted. A question and a comment. If there were a 13,000 dollar Chord processing preamp utilizing its proprietary 104 bit processor, would its EQ sound better than what you’re using?  Phrased different...

@tattooedtrackman , if that 10K switch is properly implemented you should find benefit out of occasionally boosting it for some records. If you don’t and it’s always flat of cut, then McIntosh didn’t implement it well. Eg too broad a Q hence pulli...

“Us older philes had a negative view of tone controls and qualizers because the older analog versions messed up the image and added distortion. DIgital versions do not do this.” neither do high end studio analog EQs

Just did a fairly intensive comparison between the CO modest treble boost and M2 modest 104 bit digital treble boost using a fairly cymbals heavy rock track. Did this comparison running straight out of M2 3.5 to headphones as well as running the M...

Dude, I’m just saying…fine, you’re free to say what you will, of course

@mijostyn , Trinnov Amethyst has 64bit floating point processing. Can you in anyway compare and contrast its capabilities vs the Chord Mojo2 104 bit processor?  I know that one it’s face this query seems ludicrous because the Mojo2 is an $800 port...

@mijostyn , are those designs pre/processor/dac or no dac?

The EQ’ers are now discussing the merits of different designs
