| Equalizer in a Hi Fi system Last nite I had the Fontaines playing on my Fostex as opposed to my HEKse because less sound leak. Wife working next to me. She loves Fontaines. She said let me listen. Previously she’s only heard the Fostex through the Chord Mojo2. Then she wasn’... | |
| Equalizer in a Hi Fi system MQ112 very interesting looking! Would love to hear. Don’t like one thing though. Looks like second to last filter, lower treble, is 3K. That’s really upper mids. Would prefer 5K, or even 8K there | |

| Equalizer in a Hi Fi system I love the tape loop insertion as opposed to placing the EQ between the source and amp. Tape loop allows for that “true bypass” that ultimately you want for comparing your settings to no equalizer | |
| Equalizer in a Hi Fi system Yeah, all balanced for me. No adapter or extra box. My Cardas are pseudobalanced, special pin scheme so they are playing at full unity gain when connecting to the single ended tape loop in the Bryston. Works perfectly. | |
| Equalizer in a Hi Fi system I’ll check it out, @mirolab ! Thanks! | |
| Equalizer in a Hi Fi system Slower less busy tracks with room to breathe leaves better reproduced cymbals on analog. Cymbals really stand out a lot as much better. Reverb, if used, and vocals leading and trailing edges. All better on the analog. Clarity resolution top notch ... | |
| Equalizer in a Hi Fi system The problem is you’ve never heard any of the analog hardware I’ve played with, and I’ve never heard your SOTA digital EQ you have used. I’ve heard a lot of purportedly excellent digital though… | |
| Equalizer in a Hi Fi system I’ll bet as a digital EQ guy, you never boost treble. Why? because it would suck. Compel me. Prove me wrong. Give me something to sink my teeth into. | |
| Equalizer in a Hi Fi system I think the treble boost is the area that studio analog does best. Listen, I’m listening on headphones to Fontaines D.C. second album right now on headphones with slight bass and modest treble lift. Sounds freaking fabulous. I have stuck the Chord... | |
| Equalizer in a Hi Fi system Have NOT tried…meant | |
| Equalizer in a Hi Fi system Digital still cannot add air to the mix, top octave, without some sonic sacrifice to the mids IMHO. granted have tried the most expensive digital solutions. @mijostyn , which digital EQ does broad upper treble bell or shelf boost best? Or do you ... | |
| Equalizer in a Hi Fi system I usually bump mids on CO half dot. More of a W curve. Only slight mids bump. Done right, the whole thing sounds bigger richer fuller while retaining to my ear all the hi fi qualities of the unaltered base recording. All 3 of mids lows highs sound... | |
| Equalizer in a Hi Fi system It’s funny. Whenever I rent a car I observe people’s tonal preferences on mid fi car systems by seeing where the last driver set the bass and treble. It’s almost always the case that both are jacked way up or maxed out. Hell, as a youth I did this... | |
| Equalizer in a Hi Fi system @tattooedtrackman , if you make such a change, it may prove very exciting and gratifying for you. @mijostyn , thanks for your comments. Your knowledge base in the digital realm clearly goes beyond mine. I just know what sounds great and what d... |
