| Equalizer in a Hi Fi system @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. | |
| Equalizer in a Hi Fi system @tshark , yes it’s funny I remember my ole 10 band JVC SEA-1 EQ even though it’s been 35-40 years! | |
| Equalizer in a Hi Fi system “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... | |
| Equalizer in a Hi Fi system 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... | |
| Equalizer in a Hi Fi system 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 | |
| Equalizer in a Hi Fi system 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... | |
| Equalizer in a Hi Fi system 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... | |
| Equalizer in a Hi Fi system Agreed @mahgister | |
| Equalizer in a Hi Fi system 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. | |
| Equalizer in a Hi Fi system @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... | |
| Equalizer in a Hi Fi system @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... | |
| Equalizer in a Hi Fi system @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... | |
| Equalizer in a Hi Fi system Miro, I couldn’t agree more with you. Again, we are kindred souls. Totally agree that most audiophiles have NO IDEA how good a quality treble shelf or broad bell can sound. How well it can integrate with the music and not draw attention to itself ... | |
| Equalizer in a Hi Fi system You know I gotta ask….how’s that 10K treble band? Pretty, ugly, or it’s complicated, hehe! | |
| Equalizer in a Hi Fi system @tattooedtrackman , I’m very happy for you!! |
