| Equalizer in a Hi Fi system @mirolab , have you done any direct comparisons between any pro hardware EQ and the Lokius or Loki Max? | |
| Equalizer in a Hi Fi system Mike Deming said he designed the unit to be this way. Namely EQ In has some favorable effect even with the dials on flat. I asked because of the above observations. Hence with this unit true transparency is unnecessary. | |
| Equalizer in a Hi Fi system To clarify, “true complete bypass “ as I stated above means the tape loop ‘Rec’ button on my Bryston amp is OFF. meaning the unit is completely bypassed. That’s how I ab it. By toggling my amps Rec button on and off. On and the loop containing the... | |
| Equalizer in a Hi Fi system @mirolab , thanks for saying the ‘better’ word. I totally agree with everything you say! And yes, you are right that the Charter Oak is not truly transparent. But with Cardas cables and all balanced circuitry the EQ actually sounds better, yes no... | |
| Equalizer in a Hi Fi system @sudnh , respectfully you’re wrong. You can make less than perfect recordings on hi fi gear sound better EVERY TIME without sacrificing transparency with the right high end analog hardware EQ, of which we’ve elaborated on many here. Simply put, yo... | |
| Equalizer in a Hi Fi system Ok. I know this is not a Charter Oak thread. But it’s also not a Schiit EQ thread. I will stop sharing links about this wonderful device. So as not to annoy anyone here by being excessive. I just cannot say enough good things about this piece and... | |

| Equalizer in a Hi Fi system https://gearspace.com/board/reviews/852248-charter-oak-charteroak-peq-1-a.html good idea what a sound producer says of product | |
| Equalizer in a Hi Fi system With mine you can turn treble pot up all the way (not that you’d do that) and a symphony still sounds like a symphony. With the max doing that was a noticeable loss in staging and SQ and unnatural sound set in. Change in quality of timbre or artif... | |
| Equalizer in a Hi Fi system What I DID like about the Max is how transparent it is in flat position. But in boosting bass or treble frequencies to any degree beyond +3 or so (many older recordings warrant that) it just doesn’t have the same chops as a good pro piece has in b... | |
| Equalizer in a Hi Fi system Mahgister, I am happy to share my experience with this wonderful device. My pleasure! | |

| Equalizer in a Hi Fi system And don’t forget that I’ve heard BOTH in my hi fi system. Y’all really cannot criticize my approach until you’ve done the same. I’m telling you a 2700 dollar pro EQ sounds FAR BETTER than the Loki max. Both in speaker chain and headphone chain. | |
| Equalizer in a Hi Fi system To all. All good points, but please don’t mistake my Charter Oak for a surgical mixing notch EQ. It is a broad Q tonal adjustment device with broadly overlapping bands used in a mastering setting. It is quite appropriate in a home hi fi playback s... |
