| Does Every Track Sound Great on Your System? The LM and Lokius don’t play in the same ballpark as the aforementioned pro pieces. They are sonically inferior. I won’t elaborate here but I’ve done so EXTENSIVELY on the Equalizer in a Hi Fi System thread. As have others there. If you just limit... | |
| Does Every Track Sound Great on Your System? There is a piece, called NGTUBEEQ by Wes Audio that is all analog and with stereo link to automatically match sides when one dial is turned. It uses a digital software to control the unit from your computer. Or you can turn dials yourself. It prob... | |
| Does Every Track Sound Great on Your System? I poured my heart and soul into that other thread I mentioned. I’m pretty passionate about the benefits that can be obtained from such devices. Heck, there’s even a guy on that thread who posted about his Manley Massive Passive in his very hi fi r... | |
| Does Every Track Sound Great on Your System? As does @bigwave1 , I also own a Charter Oak PEQ-1. Two, in fact. One for my headphone chain and one for my big rig. A lot is written about this in Equalizer in a Hi Fi System thread over there. Pages and pages comparing and contrasting digital vs... | |
| Equalizer in a Hi Fi system 2 weeks until my Michelangelo arrives. Can hardly wait! | |
| Equalizer in a Hi Fi system I do want to hear an in room demo of one of these DSP preamps. I know the pros talk about professional plugins emulating classic analog designs having gotten closer to their analog counterparts. As mentioned many times here, room correction is som... | |
| Equalizer in a Hi Fi system The Michelangelo is raved about its sonics on Gearspace. It’s beautiful as well. 2 rack unit height and 19” wide. Same as my CO. All dials are stereo. No left and right dials. Check it out online, if you’re so inclined. | |
| Equalizer in a Hi Fi system So one of my Charter Oaks is in the early stages of age related decline. But it’s still good for now. But naturally, being the EQ freak that I am, I’ve decided on a replacement for it. I’m having Hendyamps build a SS version of their famous tube E... | |
| Equalizer in a Hi Fi system I found another new to ship high end analog pro balanced EQ that has full function stereo ganged controls with stereo link. You can operate in full stereo link from EITHER side, L or R, all the dials. Which is GREAT. it’s by Wes Audio with both tu... | |
| Equalizer in a Hi Fi system Wow. Speechless! | |
| Equalizer in a Hi Fi system @jtcf , I am so happy the API has worked out so well for you. Furthermore, am happy for the others who have dared to try pro analog EQ or MQ112, branching out from the Schiit products, and being richly rewarded! This has been an illuminating foru... | |
| Equalizer in a Hi Fi system Op amps are bad as a blanket statement is NOT TRUE. My Charter Oak has op amps in circuit and is the best pro studio EQ hardware I’ve ever had the pleasure of hearing in my home. And I’ve heard several. It’s all in the implementation and the quali... | |
| Equalizer in a Hi Fi system Yeah, I still wanna hear that MQ112. Good stuff! | |
| Equalizer in a Hi Fi system I would think high quality EQ would be very useful in this use case. Might sound more natural than compensating with a hearing aid. I admit to knowing more about EQ than hearing aids though! I believe some hearing aids utilize digital EQ, if I’m ... | |
| Equalizer in a Hi Fi system Understood. Thanks. Room correct to flat. Then impose target curves to tonal preference. The second part for me is the hearing is believing part. If I’m gonna tonally adjust in the digital domain, I’ve gotta hear that it is as 3D and saturated sou... |
