First, the flame-guard. I *know* a real audiophile doesn't use an EQ but I
listen to many, many "bootleg" recordings of live concerts (don't flame me
on that either, please, because the band I listen to allows it), and would
like to do whatever I can to make them sound better. So... I would
appreciate any recommendations on an equalizer that doesn't ruin the music
under $1000. Thanks,
Seth

Real audiophiles do use EQ's since most rooms are not acoustically
perfect or even near perfect.  A good EQ allows you to "flatten" your
room as much as possible.  Although a flat response may not be what you
like, you can adjust the EQ in any way you like.  I think the EQ
enhances the sound quality of any type of music since you have much
more control in your bass, treble, and midrange as compared to just the
controls on your amplifier or receiver. I haven't kept up with the
current line of EQ's in past t wo or three years but a good brand to
look at is the higher end of the AUDIO CONTROL line.
