[QUOTE="John Roberts, post: 33313, member: 126"] Re: Which Graphic EQ is "better"?? I have long been a proponent of null testing to enhance listening comparisons. If you want to listen for differences, normal a single full range source to both EQ inputs, then take the the two outputs into two console input channels, applying a polarity inversion to one channel. Then assign both EQ to a single bus, at similar levels with all EQ sections flat (set levels with one muted, then the other to get a nominal level) for a null with both on and at the same level. Now assuming you can get a decent null flat, start playing with the boost/cut sliders and you will be able to isolate and listen to what each EQ slider adds or subtracts from your signal, and how well the two of them track with each other. If they sound different, it your personal choice which you prefer. Note: be careful about listening to one at a time for sound quality, with the polarity still reversed on one... that can sound subtly different. JR [/QUOTE]
