Because:

The system in question is a home audio system.
The system in question is quite vintage, using RCA jacks exclusively.
The individual asking for suggestions is of limited means, physically and, likely, financially.
The individual in question may have to move on short notice.
Adapters may be easy to source, but that does not make the cost of the equalizer together with the four (4) adapter needed cheap.

Generally, when giving advice, it is both courteous and common sense to make the suggestions fit the conditions at hand, and not add needless levels of complexity.
