I recently bought a Parasound EQf120 for $40. This a six band stereo
equalizer with controls for EQ defeat, tape monitor, and tape record
EQ.

This equalizer adds no discernable noise to my system, but I'm
sure that is because I use my ears, and not test equipment, to
listen to my music. The system I have is NOT an already noisy
system, so you can't say that I can't hear added noise because
there is so much already (I have an NAD 7445 reciever, Technics
SL-5 close-and-play, and Polychrome (Aurora Sound) 2000 speakers,
and listen exclusively to British import albums of "new wave"
music). I'm sure that if I bought audiophile records, I would
notice the difference.

I like my equalizer since it helps eliminate the dead spots in
my apartment until I can afford another pair of speakers (when
you get used to 4 speakers, one pair just doesn't seem to sound
quite right).
