When I received the Symph EQ I was worried as the packaging was very poor, the package seemed squashed and there was no real protection inside. connecting the eq to my setup on the mix bus, and it's magic. the use of the transformers makes this eq very musical, and being stepped it's very useful on the mix bus. the frequency range is wide and tasteful, and together with the low pass and high pass filters give good versatility from subtle sweetening to a more pronounced changes. quality wise all I can say so far is that really everything just works as expected, Mid side, cut/boost, +0.5db step. this eq has its colour, I use it after my mix bus compressor, and it sounds amazing.
