Graphic Equalizer --Ugh

I expect a lot of Audiogoners would urge you to eschew equalizers, but I think they're OK for the right applications.

I'm happy with a Rane ME 60, a semi-pro analog stereo equalizer with thirty sliders per channel featuring one-third octive bands. Alternatively, the old Cello Palette was well regarded as a high end product back in its day. It had fewer bands, but it may be more appropriate for your hot CD-taming needs. Sorry I have had no experience with the Behringers.

You ought to consider also the Behringer DEQ2496. It has a 31 band graphic equalizer, but also has a parametric equalizer, a 61 band real time display, auto-equalization, (neat!) and some other features. It costs,with the calibrated mic and cable, about twice as much, but still cheap by audiophile standards. The DEQ1024 seems to use the same 24 bit 96KHz digital stuff, which, to me, sounds good. I can't hear any difference when the digital processing is bypassed (A/D and D/A with the EQ flat).

Check them both out on the Behringer website.

Do you use the balance I/Os or the other?
