| Equalizer in a Hi Fi system Last comment, Pete, on your comments on how the treble sounded on the YouTube videos of Mike Deming demoing the Charter Oak. Mike used broad bells for all the bands. No shelf filters. My experience comparing the CO with the Avalon and Millennia EQ... | |
| Equalizer in a Hi Fi system Regarding the YouTube videos, they are somewhat helpful, but ultimately one needs the gear in one’s home on one’s system. Yes, my 2 CO’s have that amazing treble dial, with its sparkle and beauty. The Michelangelo did that really really well also.... | |
| Equalizer in a Hi Fi system Pete, THANK YOU for your kindest of words! Yes this whole thing when implemented correctly is a great passion of mine. Using this gear really opens up the too often boxed, sterile sound of the straight signal. I listen to a lot of rock and for th... | |
| Equalizer in a Hi Fi system I have made a huge decision. As the MA is a lateral move from my CO in the final analysis. Each has different strengths. I couldn’t stop looking, however, at the Wes Audio NGTubeEQ. So I traded in the MA for it. It comes Monday. It has serious rai... | |
| Equalizer in a Hi Fi system Oh, and I’m posting on Gearspace forums now. Quite fun, talking analog EQ mojo with recording engineers, some famous. | |
| Equalizer in a Hi Fi system Further thoughts on CO and MA. CO’s mids hold together better with larger bass boosts. No winners here. Calling it a tie. MA sounds better with milder EQ. Both great pieces. | |
| PSVANE Discussion & Impressions Thread I tried Psvane EL34-Ph. Nice, but not bright enough for my Auris Nirvana. Is there another choice within the Psvane catalog that has more prominent treble extension? | |
| Equalizer in a Hi Fi system Genius quote from Chris Henderson at Hendyamps. When I posed the question of digital vs analog EQ in the studio, this was his response. Enjoy: “Honestly, digital and analog are two completely different beasts. When you want precision tools tha... | |
| Equalizer in a Hi Fi system @jtcf, I also have had evenings with friends and family like that as well. You know you have gear that is doing something special when this happens. Great feeling! Enjoy. API is renowned in studio circles and makes great gear. | |
| Equalizer in a Hi Fi system Thanks @jtcf for the response. And @unreceivedogma, you are right. Whatever works for you. I am just hoping to save any other avid EQers some trial and error, as I’ve made it my sub hobby to explore as many high end hardware EQs as I can. To both ... | |
| Equalizer in a Hi Fi system As I keep listening to MA in my big rig, I am impressed upon by a couple of thoughts. One is that I have posted too much here and now no one cares to listen to me. The second thought is that that occurring at this point in time is tragic because t... | |
| Equalizer in a Hi Fi system Just put the MA in my loudspeaker setup. In the Bryston tape loop. It’s dead quiet, completely transparent with hardwire bypass in and tape loop toggled on and off. Couldn’t hear any difference. That’s great. I now know for sure it is transparent ... | |
| Equalizer in a Hi Fi system I am taking a shitty recording right now (but love the album) and REALLY punching and shining it up. Better than the CO ever did with album! Exhilarating! | |
| Equalizer in a Hi Fi system Honestly this thing is sickly good. I put all the dials on flat and turn gain way down below unity gain. Going back and forth between hardwire bypass while adjusting amp volume to correct. EVEN ON WELL BELOW UNITY GAIN THE UNIT IS TRANSPARENT. Tha... | |
| Equalizer in a Hi Fi system Best thing about unit is that any master gain cuts are handled beautifully with no signal integrity degradation. Meaning bigger boosts are handled with aplomb and no where near distorting the line. It is another “magic box” in the analog realm to ... |
