Good things come to those who wait. After a long journey from China the equalizer finally made it home. The equalizer does make tangible changes in the sound of the amplifier it is hooked to , which is a Yamaha rs202. Not putting the rs202 down, but " barefooted" , which simply means with no equalizer, the rs202, at least my particular one, lacked in the middle to upper frequencies. I knew bass was adequate as is in my case, so only the last 3 nobs are above flat. I already knew I didn't need lower frequency increase.
It is obvious the equalizer is a preamp. It uses that preamp to effect changes in the amplifier input. All nobs do increase or decrease tonal quality, and I wanted them to be capable of doing so. As previously stated, only the upper frequency ,last 3 nobs are above flat.
I have found what I call " Cyberspace ", or " virtual equalizers in android phones and mp3 apps " weird out " and are inferior to an actual, material equalizer, and that even on a flagship samsung. I have never experienced a " Cyberspace " or " virtual equalizer that actually allows " normal " equalizer tone , frequency response adjustments unless they " like " the equalizer adjustments. If " Cyberspace " and " virtual equalizers don't " like " where someone sets them they are weird out and are more than basically worthless. They are worthless unless they are set to very limited overall settings that the Cyberspace and virtual equalizers like to be set.
This tangible, material equalizer made of matter is not like that. It will do what the user wants without weirding out. In other words it is my experience that a material, tangible equalizer is superior to phone and specifically android equalizers in Cyberspace and virtual equalizers that don't exist in the world of matter. In order to effect change by phone streaming requires " hardwiring " by a usb to rca plugs adapter. It will not eq phone streaming by Bluetooth because it's not in the line inputs and outputs to do so. Usb c to rca male patch cords are inexpensive and abundantly available. They work.
Concerning this particular equalizer, not only do I not regret this product and purchase, but I am glad I did it.
Shipping speed is slow because the product was not in a warehouse in the United States. It shipped individually from China.
I finally got it. It has been welcomed home, and initially is functioning correctly.
The rs202 Yamaha is not a high end 2 channel amplifier, so it needed an equalizer/ preamp to help it output a sound with more " presence " and treble.
This equalizer has caused it to do that.
It was worth the wait of getting it from an origin Shipping source in China instead of the United States. It took longer to get it than usual, but it was worth the wait.
As previously stated, there is no hum , or any other sound negatives about it. If it adds distortion, it is less than detectable by my good ears. I have good hearing and I don't hear any distortion at all because of the equalizer. What I hear is better presence and treble, which is what I needed. This product is good, and I
recommended It based on my particular experience so far. I just got it today. 5 stars.
