For all the unit’s rails of power and with it using passive circuitry and high quality inductors, it should be able to do air band with aplomb.
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.

I have been demoing the Wes Audio NGTubeEQ the last 3 days. It is Uber expensive but what you get is a super clean sounding unit with all the musicality of my Charter Oaks, in other words amazing SQ. It is finicky at first as a full parametric with a gazillion permutations on how to set it up. I won’t lie. It has been 3 full days of intensive tinkering to get it dialed in. Now that I have it dialed in I can say it sounds utterly amazing. As it should for 6 grand. But the greatest thing about this unit is that you can give it huge bass boosts if necessary and it won’t distort the line like the CO sometimes would with loud compressed rock recordings. For 6 K the Wes is bulletproof against this kind of distortion. Love it! |
And a big congratulations goes out to @petieboy12003 for his purchase of that 2018 Charter Oak which he and I verified that Mike Deming made. I now have played with enough EQs, including the most recent Wes Audio, to say with assurance that Pete just bought one of the very best sounding hardware equalizers on the planet. As I suspected and have now proven you have to spend 6 K to get something that sounds like my beloved CO. No wonder I’ve been so in love with this piece for over 10 years! |
And a big thank you once again to tlcocks who single-handedly is responsible my latest audio acquisition Charter Oak PEQ-1 Can`t wait to hear CO in my 118db horn system. I am expecting huge failure (noise?) or either huge success, due to several reasons, mainly since there is so much inherent/available headroom within this system. That Wes EQ just looks STUNNING one of the best looking pieces ever imo and with so many features and possible settings. If sounds on par with CO, as Tim states, and i for one believe him, then this really must be a sure upgrade for him. Albeit a bit pricey but hey... So congrats to you too Tim!
