| Equalizer in a Hi Fi system I felt at this point since I’m using the piece with synergistic success in two separate chains that I’d post some history on it. I initially bought it from SoundPure pro audio to insert in the tape loop of my Bryston B135 SST2 integrated amp with... | |
| Equalizer in a Hi Fi system Ah @mijostyn …but I did. It’s all laid out in the link with my first post on this thread. I pulled it from head fi. Perhaps you didn’t copy and open. It was a little tricky. It was a thread titled The Charter Oak PEQ-1. I’ll copy all the text and ... | |
| Equalizer in a Hi Fi system Sorry the frustration. Yes have compared directly. It’s in my link on page 1. It’s stated elsewhere throughout. The 3 pro pieces I’ve had in my home are on page 1. I suspect @mirolab has had many more pro pieces in his home. | |
| Equalizer in a Hi Fi system Yes. To both. Re read the thread! | |
| Equalizer in a Hi Fi system High end pro audio gear is top flight. No audible noise. | |
| Equalizer in a Hi Fi system The benefits for me outweigh these concerns. By the way, the noise with the EQ in with my gear is negligible, un noticeable. On a classical piano solo with EQ in and volume at 50% (very very loud), I don’t hear audible noise | |
| Equalizer in a Hi Fi system The reason FLAT is not always what we want to hear hearkens back to my link earlier in this thread to the cello palette Levinson discussion regarding the fact that not all recordings are created equal | |
| Equalizer in a Hi Fi system @rbertalotto , that’s room corrective EQ. Totally different than tone shaping EQ. You COULD do both though if needed. Fortunately my room is good, as the best recordings sound perfect without EQ. | |
| Equalizer in a Hi Fi system As @mirolab as smartly stated previously, great recordings sound perfect without ANY EQ , so our gear is sound and very hi fi. Again, my comments are regarding on the fly “fixing” of suboptimal recordings. And by the way, why is recalling a stored... | |
| Equalizer in a Hi Fi system Digital for treble tonal boost is awful. The fact that no one in the world other than 2 of us here on this stream use high end pro analog hardware EQ in post production is why everyone is afraid of treble. Few know what a beautiful thing it can be... | |
| Equalizer in a Hi Fi system @mijostyn , as the old saying goes you and I will have to agree to disagree. I am always (it’s my sub hobby) comparing digital implementations for tone shaping to high end analog for tone control. There’s simply not enough headroom with digital fo... | |
| Equalizer in a Hi Fi system @akgwhiz i agree | |
| Equalizer in a Hi Fi system @mijostyn it depends on what you’re trying to accomplish. Digital can never compete with analog for example in lifting treble air bands to give life to a dull recording. Ask any studio engineer. Read online if you don’t believe me. Now, if you are... | |
| Equalizer in a Hi Fi system @mirolab , what did Mike say to you regarding the transparency of the peq1? I checked out your Skyline unit. Looks compelling! Of the two units, which treble and bass filters sound better, putting aside transparency? Lastly, the more expensive ... | |
| Equalizer in a Hi Fi system Digital EQ is flat and 2 dimensional compared to high end analog EQ. I’ve directly compared modest curves on Roon and Auralic digital EQ as well as Mojo2 104 bit “lossless” UHD EQ against Charter Oak. The CO beats all 3 easily in terms of all hi f... |
