Equalizer in a Hi Fi system

I am not an ‘only booster’ anymore. Better power delivery to PEQ-1 with better power cables has me experimenting. I have found there are several ways to EQ to taste, some of which involve gentle cuts. And they all sound great. Love the aftermarket cable on the EQ. Its Audience F3. Saturation, dynamics and ‘pop’ is off the charts now. PEQ-1 can do anything pretty much anything and sound good. 

@mijostyn ,

can you give me a brief update on your progress with DEQX?  I am still very interested in hearing the final smoothed out product at its best. I would love to hop a flight/ plan a little trip around paying you a visit to meet you and hear a demo of exactly what state of the art DSP is capable of doing. 😊🎶

If it makes you happier and adds to your musical experience then of course!

Made a new audio friend locally. His DIY system is listed above. He came to my house and evaluated my system. He said it was very impressive and the PEQ-1 was way beyond what he imagined an equalizer could do. Basically, he said it was transformative for my system and sounded much like a speaker upgrade. He said he could not hear any audible degradation or hiss the way I am using it. FINALLY, another audiophile has HEARD what I’m doing and validated it!  I’m so happy!  I KNEW I had something special going on!
