Great machine, but not for a home stereo.
I picked this up to try out in my home stereo. At first I thought it was a great success but later, when I turned up the volume, the speakers would make popping noises when there were loud transients. This was in between the preamp and power amp.
When I installed it in between a DAC and the preamp it intermittently produced some crackling noises in the speakers.
When it was working properly the sound quality was clean and this equalizer was very quiet. Any noise that it did produce was not noticeable. It was much quieter than I expected. IMHO this is an extremely good equalizer, but in my experience it is not suited to a home stereo system.
Update: This is untested but I understand that Radial Engineering's "J-Iso" and "J+4" devices (both needed) will enable this equalizer to be used in a home system. Similar devices should also work.
