Here's the question of the day. I was listening to some country (for my wife's sake
) during dinner through TMC's Music Choice. It usually sounds great, but for some reason, was horribly flat this evening.
For awhile, I had an older 10 band Audiosource EQ11 running between my cd player and the Denon 3805 for quick tweaking. I loved it's fast ability to "get the mud out." I've since retired it because I don't listen to cd's as often as digital cable's Music Choice. Now I miss that quick control of the two band eq. With the 3805, you have an internal 8 band eq - which works great, but takes ten minutes to get to via on screen display. To top that off, when you change it, the microprocessor remembers the last setting, so now it's set that way for all program material for digital cable.
Is there a (safe) feasible way to loop a two channel external eq through the 3805 (and any 7.1 system) for that quick control? I've thought about using the external eq with an external amp, but all I would be doing is controlling the two channels of the pre amp output to the amp, and not the entire 5 or 7 channel setup. Today's units don't offer the old school "tape monitor" selector. There's got to be a way to do with without having to add an eq to every pre-out.
