Analog equalizers in high end audio (stereo) are generally
a waste of time and money. Thirty-one pots only serve to
dull out microdynamics and articulation of the human voice.
Many of the high quality pre-amps manufactured over the
last 20 years come without any bass or treble control
whatsoever, for this reason.

I know of at least one exception:
The Cello Palette.
This is the only analog EQ I know about with continuous tracking phase
correction per band.

This is one EQ I'd sure want to have in my system!
