| 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... | |
| Equalizer in a Hi Fi system “tlcocks No offense to you or anyone but I gave Schitt a try by buying 3 components for a guest room and all 3 had issues of some sort and had to return them all. Horrible customer service and subpar product in my opinion, and yes I am talking a... | |
| Equalizer in a Hi Fi system “Thanks to both of you for the info on the EQ. I am definitely going to do more serious research into the API equalizers. It may sound picky, and you can call it girl stuff, but I want them in black and no rack mount ears, or removable ears. On... | |
| Equalizer in a Hi Fi system @mirolab , the process you described is AMAZING in its intricacies and elaborateness. I would LOVE to spend a day watching mixing and mastering in a real studio!🎶 | |
| Equalizer in a Hi Fi system Room correction has NOTHING TO DO with tone adjustment to personal preferences. Nothing. Please read the thread for more info on this. These recent posts are more about the merits of pro balanced analog gear for tonal adjustments. For room correct... | |
| Equalizer in a Hi Fi system @ellajeanelle , if I may comment. I know you’re talking to @jtcf. Putting your ear up to the tweeter and hearing hiss that’s low enough shouldn’t be a deal breaker. If you have quality hi fi gear with low noise floor a slight uptick in hiss from a... | |
| Equalizer in a Hi Fi system @mirolab , can you or anyone else enlighten me on how sound engineers can run several pieces of gear in series in their chain, sometimes like 8, and not have to worry about degradation of signal. This is as opposed to we audiophiles worrying about... | |
| Equalizer in a Hi Fi system Actually never mind, @mirolab. The dealer at Guitar Center called and gave me my requested test results. I asked for a number of things to be done. There is disproportionate hiss in right channel. It’s audible with quieter passages of music. That’... |
