C1000 + Millenia NSEQ-4 [EQ]
I received the Millenia NSEQ-4 about an hour ago. Attached are the unboxing photos.
I have connected the unit to my main 2 channel system: MC2301s, C1000, MCD1100, MB100 and MT10.
HOLY MACKEREL! I am am intimidated [code for I'm afraid?] nah, but it is an adventure.
I'll just say this, there are many dials and adjusting one dial for each channel by one and two clicks made a massive impact.
Stay tuned for some serious feedback using this powerful tool.

Re: C1000 + Millenia NSEQ-4 [EQ]
joeinid...So far, so good. I have now played with a few clicks here and there. I've adjusted two knobs influencing both the left & right Channels. The owners guide calls this detented positions. As you know, there are lots of dials. At the moment, I have moved two dials - and these two dials with two detent ticks. This seems to ever so slightly clarify the upper end. What I did was cut a hint of the mid point rather than add to the top end. This seems to allow the upper end to audibly expand - loosen from strangulation. I've tried the before and after settings, and the before sound that I am playing seems subtly clouded. When I engage the dial, the sound seems just a hint clearer. As I understand, what I have done by using an upside down U curve as suggested by Millenia. They urge not to 'push' the curve because this can cause I'm so far impressed. This setting may not work for all music, but the one I am hearing now works well.

Are you running this off the C1000's loopback?

Growing up on a farm and fairly sheltered, the original Shogun series captivated me, and led to a lifelong fascination with the Japanese aesthetic. The new series was excellent. I was expecting high...
