Thanks for your feedback.
The idea is to have one common place for failure so that
failure handling like in case of PSR can be done only
in that one place.
The debug prints for each failure case would still give the
exact reason for failure followed by the end result debug print
saying that "Channel EQ failed" since any of those failures will
result in Ch EQ fail.
