Equalizer in a Hi Fi system


Just curious to hear everyone’s opinions on using an equalizer in a high end hi fi system. Was at work tonight and killing time and came across a Schitt Loki max $1500 Equalizer with some very good reviews. What are some of the pros / Benefits and cons in using one. Just curious. BTW. I’m talking about a top of the line. Hi end equalizer. Mostly to calm some high frequencies and some bad recordings.

An honest question to @mijostyn :  

You are pushing the superiority of Digital EQ...  So what model Digital EQ would you recommend?  I mean one that has knobs or sliders that I can enjoy adjusting easily and 'on-the-fly'.  The only one I can think of would be the Weiss mastering EQ, but it's $6500, and is Digital I/O only.    

Yes. I’ve often wondered what that Weiss digital hardware piece sounds like. 

@mijostyn , thanks for your last very informative and interesting post.  I often use a bit less treble at low volume. Interesting the volume effect on tonality 

I find low level listening is a great test of the fidelity of the presented material. If it remains very engaging and such at low levels you probably have good gear.
