buying an equalizer - need help

I am not sure if this is the proper forum to place this question as I am new here. My equalizer quit this weekend. Equalization makes my stereo sound much better than using the tone controls. I am in the market for a new one, but I have only found an Audio Source one available which I have heard bad things about. It seems equalizers are very scarce now. Does anyone know of other brands they can recommend? I am looking of spending in the range of $100-$400. Any help is appreciated.

Like most <I>Stereophile</I> readers, we have grown accustomed to seeing Barry Diament's name on superb-sounding recordings, since he has mastered albums by artists from AC/DC to Warren Zevon&mdash;and every letter in between. When the magazine still had its editorial offices in Santa Fe, Diament dropped by one afternoon to say hi, so now we feel like we can brag, "Hey, we know that guy!"
