Sounds like a good idea, and you're already 1/2 way there.

I use the Millennia NSEQ-2 with a Manley Vari-Mu, and others.

I have tried the regular version several times and I did not hear any difference.

Manley Mastering Massive Passive EQ (i had to have an extra mod on mine)Masselec MLA2 compressor.If you are mastering for a living you will need more than one EQ and comp. You do lose some of the gain potential with the mastering Massive but generally this box is a sweetner and should be used acordingly :)

I thought that the only difference were the detented controls.

Filters are also different (more options).

Ah. Didnt know, thanks.

A little costly but a great direction to go:

Manley Massive Passive complimented by either (or both)
GML 9500 or Maselec MEA-2.

The Massive Passive is excellent for broad brush strokes but is best complimented with another great EQ.

You are right, I am using it with a Weiss before or after, depending the needs. I do the corrective eqing with the Weiss and the Massivo for the cream.

Love my GML 8200 as well, Massive John !

Attending clients like the colored knobs... turn up the green one ! 8-)

I asked them to put back in the original filters but with detented controls, A 50khz low pass filter is of no use to me whatsoever

The slopes for the filters are at 30dB/Octave on Mastering version compared to 18 on the regular one. Low pass at 52Khz is no much use for me either.

but maybe your dog loves it??

i'm sure it can reduce aliasing noise going into a 192kHz ADC :-?

Yeah, maybe. If it is the case, then I will use it! Too late for tmy dog response to that, he died just before I got the Massivo :cry:

Vinyl is king up my street and for cd i am quite happy with 24-96
Whilst the 12k lpf is a bit sharp, When you have got the courier at the door and the person who mixed the track you are mastering has (in an attemt to get the high hats in his bass heavy mix cutting through) boosted said high hats @16k with a narrow Q and loads of boost ,the Manley 12k lpf is a life saver.Unfortunatley this is a almost daily occurance for me.......the high hats that is 8)
