Nice EQ. With room acoustics what they are and varying (standing waves, room nodes) so much from room to room a good quality EQ is essential to good sound. I've used an ADC Sound Shaper Two IC since purchase in 1982. A quality EQ will add less than 0.02% THD/IM and is way freakin' cheaper than turning all your present/future listening rooms into anechoic chambers.

Good info... Thanks for that... I remember my swap meet EQ from my high school days in the 80s... Cheap as heck but it gave me those crazy highs and lows.. I am sure it was full of distortion but what did I care.. Ha.. Thanks for commenting.

@@discofriend8522, my first equalizer purchase in 1977 was an ADC Sound Shaper Two (with the little VU meter). I upgraded to the Sound Shaper Two IC in 1982 because it offered two tape monitors with bidirectional dubbing, LED level meters and an excellent subsonic filter (18dB/octave at 15Hz).

Hey guys just got back into vintage audio. I’m 54 and remember my Pioneer sx838 with tape deck and equalizer jamming in my college apartment. I run an up to date Marantz for a HT set up with Klipsch 600M’s and 51M’s for surround, REL 1003 for a sub. Got the itch to build out vintage again and saw this video. So far I have a Pioneer SX-780, Nakamichi DR-3, JVC TD-V621, Kenwood GE-7030 and a Technics SH-GE70. Why two tape decks and two eq’s? Just to swap out and play around with the sound. Speaker undecided. Looking and the Wharfedale Linton 85th anniversary editions. Btw. Great great video. Music systems are bland nowadays with way less buttons and lights lol. I dunno if it’s for the better but the vintage stuff has soul.

@@rumporridge1, I'm a few years older, 70. I've owned many cassette decks over the years; CT-f2121, CS-f14, TA-630D, GX-f31, RS-m224, KX-260, ND-590ll, Nakamichi BX-1 and DRM-800A. Two cassette decks are a must for serious vintage recording. Two EQ's is novel. Never been a fan of HT, I'm more the traditional two channel audio guy. Your SX-838 is one sweet receiver. Got lotsa controls to play with (adjust). An excellent pre amp in its own right. My favorite Pioneer line is the 30 series. My first receiver in 1974 was an SX-434. A few years ago I got an SX-434 being tossed out as trash. Took it to my restoration guy and for $60 it's good as new. It is in my kitchen system and powers a Nakamichi BX-1 cassette deck and Boston Acoustics A-40 and Synergistics S12B speakers, it can easily drive a 4 ohm load. Personally, I think a graphic equalizer is essential to good sound, fuhgeddaboudit.

Why does everyone insist that the so called Rock and roll smile setting on a EQ is th best I never thought it sounded good at all what’s the point Of an EQ if everyone uses this setting.EQ is to accommodate For room size,audio format,listening level, fine tuning balance Etc etc etc….if this setting was the best it would be preset at the factory And there would be no need for a EQ component at all. This makes Me crazy that most people were programmed to do this. In most cases if you want more treble or mid range cut the bass Or more more bass is preferred cut mids and or highs.also the general “ rule” is the louder the volume the lower the bass should be set. And at low volume the EQ lows should be raised, or the loudness/ bass Boost should be switched on. Look I’m not going to dictate how one should Listen to their music, everybody is different. All I am saying is experiment A little, and don’t be fooled into thinking that a FLAT setting with an EQ is Bad or in need of tweeking,that’s the way the recording engineer meant That song to be heard.try different speakers or speaker placement. I myself do not care for excessive bass so I keep my speakers off the floor And away from the wall.and try different distances between the speakers Well I hope I didn’t sound preachy, but these are some of the things I’ve Noticed and learned throughout my life as an audiophile. Thanks, and Good day to all fellow stereo enthusiasts ✌
