Phoenix Gold makes a 30 band 1/3rd octave eq that's pretty good, but my favorite so far has got to be the McIntosh MEQ452 with the MEN450 power supply. 6 band parametrics and you can get lost in the tuning! For some reason, the older Alpine parametrics sounded questionable due to the internal parts / processing they were using. Very muddy. There's lots of eq's out there...!

Another excellent pair of HU and EQ is the Pioneer Premier DEX-P9 head unit and the Pioneer Premier DEQ-P9 equalizer.

A lot of Audio SQ competitions have been won using that pair.

Here's a list of people who use the P9

Marc Turner - Won Expert 1-600 Iasca 2002, 2nd in 01, 2nd in 2000
Todd Gaskell - Won Rookie 1-6000 Iasca 2001
Rina Beckham- Mulitple wins in here Pro 601-Plus Street
Mike Brandt - 3rd IASCA Finals 2002
Scott Buwalda- Won Street X 601+ 2002
Larry Chijner- Always in the top 3 for the last 5 years using P9
Mark Ligget- Won Expert 2001
Steve Cornell - Won Pro 1-600 2002
