Should I hook up my equalizer?

I have a ADC SS-412X 10 band equalizer that's been sitting in storage and I'm wondering if there is any advantage to hooking it up? I have a Sony GA9ESG Receiver and was thinking of running my CD player through it to optimize the sound for stereo listening. Is their any benefit to this and if so what's the best way to hook it up? The inputs on the back of the equalizer are:

Line - In & Out
Tape 1 - In/Play & Out/Rec
Tape 2 - In/Play & Out/Rec

Thanks for any suggestions and help.

CD vs. DVD question

I recently have included some video in my system and have noticed that the same concert versions of some recordings sound different. Is is normal for the DVD version to sound a little more "thin" or "fleshed out" compared to the identical CD issue. I have noticed this on both the Alison Krauss "Live" recordings and Mark Knopfler and Emmylou Harris "Live Roadrunning". The DVD version just does not seem to be as complete or go as deep. I have ruled out interconnect and equipment issues. Any comments would be appreciated.

Thanks
Rob

The Real Cost of a Download?

The Real Cost of a Download?

We've written frequently about the lawsuits brought by the recording industry against alleged downloaders, but here's an interesting fact: None of the cases has actually gone to trial yet. Many have been dropped by the labels when it appeared they had targeted the wrong defendants; even more have been settled by defendants intimidated by the $750-per-song damages claimed by the labels. Now an attorney is vigorously seeking a trial—and one of his big arguments is that the labels' math doesn't add up.
