I would never have been able to decide on my purchase of the Marantz PMD661
were it not for emails with two regulars male posters to this group. There goes
your flimsy theory.

Well it proves you only email people when you want something...

The only think that will convince me is your future behavior. Right now I
think it's a case of the lady doth protest too much...

Yeah I agree. It's unfortunate that getting a good sound is a lot easier
from good(expensive) gear than with cheap gear. Well, unless your a
total idiot.

Invest in quality gear, it pays off.

I don't see how the question implies anything, with the limited info
given. If there is, in fact, NO house EQ or HPF, it might be necessary
to use the channel strip EQ's to compensate. It might be that the only
thing wrong is limited resources. To infer more is presumptuous, without
having more info. And the arguments in this thread are fruitless
exercises in maybes. Without more info, the an intelligent answer can't
be accurately given.
