I just read the article. Let's see what Arny cut (all
quotes from the article, so I'm not messing with
quotation marks):

A real live Sontec or Massenberg Parametric EQ unit
can set you back 9 grand....

Deceptive out-of context quote noted, Here's the
context:

"So, we use graphic EQ's to tailor the sound of our
playback systems, and we use Parametric EQ's to tailor
the sound of our music. Right? Now, you have a good
point in which to start. Download (if you can) some
parametric EQ programs. A real live Sontec or
Massenberg Parametric EQ unit can set you back 9
grand.... "

Note that the following was intentionally and
deceptively removed:

"Now, you have a good point in which to start. Download
(if you can) some parametric EQ programs."

There was no deception, Arns.

Normal people do not have their systems hooked into a
PC.


By implication, Steve Hoffman disagrees. He specfically
recommended downloading EQ programs.


By implication, Hoffman is suggesting one uses the
computer to learn how to tailor an eq, then use this new
skill on the regular system.


Works for me. I

The interview must be rather old: Hoffman rejects digital eqs.


Let's not get into Hoffman's hang-ups with digital.
