    I did a little digging and after the fact of participating here, finding you that the polk forum regulars are almost universally despised on about every forum out there.

    While I know that is not true, I am sure there are some. Jealously and envy are always the root cause of such things.

    That said, bringing someone's mother into the picture is inexcusable.

    While on the subject of leaving irrelevant subject matter out, lets not discuss anyone's age. It has about as much to do with the topic on hand as does the length and width of your driveway.

    Since ben is on my ignore list I can only assume that PM's didn't stay so P. Talk about threadcrapping... At least I have the common sense to PM when appropriate. Starting that whole 'How old are you' just so you could harangue that answer no matter what that answer is (which we know is what would happen here) is simply the childish antics that I have seen. At least those responses let me put people on my ignore list so I can actually interact with members that aren't closed minded and 'group think/followership' oriented.

    I have had several great threads to participate in here so I know it is just a select few that like to stir the pot. That is easily remedied.

    The circuitry for each band is still in the signal path even when the gain/cut control is in the middle position. Sure it will make a difference, but I contend that if the goal is extracting and resolving as much information and detail from a recording as possible,it's addition will be counterproductive.

    This'll be my only post in this thread, so whatever...

    Back when I was doing the musician thing, I often used an EQ to pull out a hard to hear part in order to do a transcription, or when doing live sound, to notch out harmonic feedback frequencies. Other than that, I tend to stay away from EQs, at least for the most part. None in my set up now. Might be one again someday. Saw a RANE the other day that looked like it could do a lot for the weird room I have everything set up in now. But I'm going to try an acoustic treatment first and see how far I can get with that.

    Or as I used to say to the other members of whatever band I was in at the time; if it sounds good, it is good (paraphrasing Eddie Van Halen when discussing his "controversial" chord changes in a number of his songs).

    Quad add some decent IC's to the mix. I can recommend AQ's middle of the road cables, and Kimber PBJ's.
    Enjoy
