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.

Right now listening to Daft Punk - Random Access Memories as follows:

Matrix X Sabre 3 dac streamer > Charter Oak analog balanced hardware PEQ-1 > Headamp GSX-Mini > HEKse. 
Tonally adjusted to personal taste. For this album, for my ears, about +3 at 40 hz, +1 at 120 hz and + 6 at 20 kHz. 
It’s the most amazing sound you’ve ever heard. 🎶😊🎧

 

tlcocks: Enjoy!  I don't use/ like headphones unless I am in a plane!  I never had a need for them such as neighbors nearby that may get disturbed.  I used them occasionally long ago when I used to DJ some and use them once in a while when mixing, recording, or mastering myself playing guitar, synth, theremin or drums and in my humble home studio and that's all. 

I prefer to feel the sound in conjunction with hearing it whenever I listen to music.

I do too. Totally prefer loudspeakers. Like thought to bounce back and forth between the two. The headphone chain has the edge with resolution. But feeling the music and timbre…speakers win

the ultimate list of One set of controls, Stereo EQ

This is where I’ll go first if I ever need to hunt for an EQ that’s true stereo. Great comprehensive list. Was wrong about SPL PQ. It’s not true stereo linked

@mirolab , any experience with Hendyamps Michelangelo?  This piece looks extremely compelling to me.
