I sent this query out several months ago, but apparently it never got out
because I did not get a single reply.  My apologies if any  of  you  have
seen this before.

I am interested in purchasing an equalizer for my stereo system.  I would
prefer to keep the expenditure to $400.00 or less.  I  plan  to  use  the
equalizer to help obtain a more flat response across the spectrum  in  my
far-from-perfect (accoustically poor) living room.  I would also like  to
be able to equalize signals as they are about to  be  recorded;  such  as
when trying to "improve" the sound of an older record when recording  it.

The best choice I have found so far  is  the  Soundcraftsmen  DC2215.  It
seems to have all the features I am looking for, but I have no experience
with Soundcraftsmen equipment.  Does anyone out there own this equalizer,
or any other Soundcraftsmen equipment?  I would appreciate  any  opinions
on Soundcraftsmen equipment.

Also, does anyone have any other recommendations  for  a  good  equalizer
that meets the above requirements?  I was once told that  a   para-metric
equalizer might be a better choice, and I agree that they are more  flex-
ible, but then decent para-metric equalizers cost considerably over $400.

Just for reference, my system consists of the following:

Mitsubishi DAR-15 Receiver
Bang & Olufsen 2404 turntable
Bang & Olufsen MMC-2 cartridge
Nakamichi LX-5 Cassette Deck
B&W DM-220 Loudspeakers.

Thanks in advance,

Dennis Gibbs
