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.

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!

BTW, vinyl on his bi amped system is absolutely unbeatable. Never heard anything like it. So he knows what good sound is!

Thanks over the last many pages of this rather long thread to the likes of @dgarretson ​​@mirolab and others for helping to validate the the professional studio analog EQ approach!
