To Equalize or Not to Equalize

Thanks - have you used this model, or know anyone who has?  I know they have a good rep. but don't know anyone who has used their gear.

Folks seem to like the Schitt Loki which is in that price range.  I have a five channel equalizer on my integrated that I use and I like having it.  My room is well treated so when I use it it’s to accommodate the recording and not room issues.

If you're a streamer using Qobuz or Tidal you can use a program like Audirvana that has many features including a 10 band EQ which is excellent.

DSpeaker has a few options to control things in the digital realm. There is the Anti-Mode 2.0, and the more sophisticated (and expensive) X4. I've used both for years at a time, and found them both helpful They each have a "Tilt" control, not unlike the old Quad preamp, that allows you to quickly dial the treble down, or the bass, or both. For some recordings, it was just what the doctor ordered. And they do wonders for the bass in most rooms.

If you want to keep it analog, I'd experiment with the fanciest Loki. Schiit gives you two weeks to try it out. By then, you'll know...
