[net.audio] DAK EQ deal

In re DAK offering a BSR 10 band EQ for $149.
I would not expect the EQ to be a high quality product.  It costs about $500
(with discounts) for a good 10 band graphic EQ (Audio Control, Soundcraftsmen,
etc.), so any unit selling for $200 or less is going to have unacceptable
a) noise, b) distortion, and c) frequency response when used with any high
fidelity system (including a budget system costing around $500).  If you
want to improve a budget system, and only have $150 to spend, I'd recommend
getting better speakers, since that will give you the best return on your
investment.
In most cases, buying a $150 equalizer is throwing money  away.
