In a recent issue of The Sensible Sound I reviewed
the Rane THX-44 equalizer. In an earlier issue I had
also reviewed the THX-22 version.

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.
