I'm in the purist camp as well -- leave the signal path as unadulterated as possible.
That said, I recently purchased a Velodyne SMS-1 to equalize my subwoofer. It had some nasty peaks betwen 30-60Hz. I've got much cleaner bass now. But bear in mind, I'm only manipulating the 20-80Hz range. Above that, I don't want to muck about. -- Videodrome Two-channel System: SB3, into Musiland MD-10 DAC; Outlaw 970 Pre/Pro; McCormack DNA-125 amplifier; Quad 11L speakers; Sota Sapphire ttbl. w/ Grado Ref.
