I kind of like that vintage Pioneer. But for a few bucks more I go for the 15 band Behringer.

I should mention, though, that 31 band, so-called "1/3 octave" equalizer is considered the minimum for precise correction.

Does your receiver have a tape loop? That is, a "Tape Out" and a "Tape In" connectors? If so, that's the correct way to install an equalizer. You send the signal from whatever source you're using, (CD, computer, whatever), to the equalizer via the Tape Out, and you send the signal back from the equalizer to the receiver via the Tape Ins. When you press the "Tape Monitor" switch on the front of the receiver you will be listening to the equalized signal
