For the analog purist- to room correct or not?


I was wondering if any vinyl head bent on keeping all the qualities found in vinyl playback, would digital or other room correction be found in your system with what's available today?
I took a breif look at what deqx 's website had to say, it sounds like they did alot of homework, is it up to vinyl's transparency?
They speak of high slopes at line level so as to not use crossovers in the speaker. Any thoughts? And also time align with milli seconds delay.

There's no reason why you can't perform effective room correction purely in the analog domain - you just won't find a cute all-in-one hardware/software solution that does it for you. But a look at your system suggests that you're not shy to put in a little bit of elbow grease . . .

So you might take a look at a classic, high-quality analog parametric EQ - something like a Meyer CP-10. Use it with a good sound analysis software (I use SmaartLive 5) and you can solve your room issues in exactly the way you see fit.

And while the crossover functions of something like the DEQX may be very powerful, IMO going down this road is definatly more the realm of "speaker modification" rather than simply "room correction". But if that's what you're after . . . .
