apart from the delay, linear-phase eqs introduce pre-ringing, so they
are a very mixed blessing. they don't change the fundamental truth that
you cannot alter the frequency response without altering the temporal
response as well.
morale of this story: use the minimum eq necessary. the lower the Q, the
less phase problems you will get.
as david pointed out before, graphic eqs with bands of major thirds
necessarily use rather high Qs, and you will suffer their adverse
effects even if you set the sliders to "gentle" curves.
there is no silver bullet for this problem. or, as jack developer jack
o'quin in his infinite wisdom once remarked, "you can't bullshit an
electron".
