Do you have any idea of the type of sound you're after?
A thing about EQs is that filter design is very tricky, but in the end the differences between different filter types can be very small. In the end, if you can use different EQs to get the same frequency curves, they will in most cases sound the same. A well-known designer said recently that it doesn't matter only what kind of a sound you'll get, but how you'll get it, meaning that a good EQ may point you to the right direction. An exception are linear phase vs. minimum phase EQs and saturation, filter band interaction and other kinds of analog modelling. Some professionals who have used analog EQs say that they hear no difference between plug-ins. So, I just want to say that a price tag doesn't make sound quality and a photo of an analog piece of gear in the interface doesn't make the sound any more analog. Also be aware that a good sounding EQ may just be one that uses a wide Q and doesn't tell you that (so you could actually achieve the same with a normal EQ).

Posihfopit and IIEQ are nice, LP10 is said to be good for linear phase. If you have money you can get PSP Neon.

See my above post - looks like it's a rebadged Sonnox Oxford Eq to me (just slightly reorganised layout and colour)

BootEQ, of course

For the more technical/surgical things I'm using always the Cambridge EQ.

What is your go to EQ?
