I just bought a Schiit Loki equalizer to explore if it could be useful in taming some harsh recordings (like Saregama downloads). I have a Behringer FBQ1502 Ultragraph PRO equalizer that I do not want in the signal path in this case.
Loki does its job well in terms of controlling the frequencies in a subtle way. It works better than the 15/31 channel equalizers in terms of usage as well as distortion. The bypass mode is perfect.
One problem that I am struggling with is a loud hum. I have very sensitive speakers so Loki is almost useless for me unless I find a way out. Plugging into different power sources has not solved the issue. It uses AC power so I cannot try a different power supply. The hum goes off completely in the bypass mode, so it is not related to any other part of my system. Will explore a bit more. Suggestions welcome, in case anyone has similar experience with Schiit products.
