Over the years I have played with conventional low cost japanese eq's and have a dbx 3bx in a box - I found that having less stuff in my audio circuit produced cleaner sound and I am now down to just my player, and amp, soem decent cables and the Jubals. It has never sounded better.

I see there are better eq's to be had when you look at the pro folks like Ashley but they are running xlr connections vs rca. If I was looking to find a used EQ for balancing room characteristics or speaker response in a home system what would someone recommend I look for?

The 3bx was fun for fiddling with the sound but it really cut/muddied the fine details and musicality, so I took it out. If a good eq is going to do the same I'll probably forget getting one but if the 3bx because of its age is not representative of a good eq's transparency, I hope some one will tell me...

Cheers
