| 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... | |
| Equalizer in a Hi Fi system Oh, by the way Mike Deming generation CO sound SUBLIME. the newer CO models with the dull faceplate to differentiate them still sound better than the Loki Max | |
| Equalizer in a Hi Fi system @tattooedtrackman , you’re missing the broader point that MANY pro EQ sound equally as good. In other words, try @mirolab ’s Skyline Vintage unit. It is 300 dollars LESS than the Loki Max. And based on my very favorable listening experiences with ... | |
| Equalizer in a Hi Fi system I will however acknowledge digital EQ is advancing rapidly. Have heard of the expensive DEQX products forthcoming. Would love to try that someday | |
| Equalizer in a Hi Fi system @mirolab , please tell me if your Vintage Skyline piece has better sounding bass and treble bands than the CO. If so, I may buy one. | |
| Equalizer in a Hi Fi system @mijostyn , just read your entire post. No need to insult. The hair spray part was uncalled for. I have told you my experience playing extensively with analog vs digital high end EQ. My experience differs from yours but agrees with @mirolab and a ... | |
| Equalizer in a Hi Fi system At the risk of boring you all (skip it if you want) I am going to post my story I had sent to my buddy Geoff at Head Fi about how I got into merging pro EQ with hi fi: So a little about me and this hobby. I was always interested in SQ from a ... |
