What Mr. Rives writes is very interesting. I remember reading a recent article about the TacT in Hi-Fi News, I believe, in which the reviewer clearly says that any filtering beyond 4th order is very audible as distortion. Let's remember that one of the supposed advantages of digital correction is the very high-order filtering possible.
Rives PARC or Tact 2.0 AA for room correction?
Hi
I am looking for an analog room correction system and am looking at a used Rives PARC parametric EQ and Tact RCS 2.0 AA (with analog boards included) which were offered to me at similar prices.
I am quite happy running a pair of XLR interconnects straight from my CD player to my Preamp and have no intention of adding any DACs to my system.
However the advantage of getting the TACT is its versatility. I also suspect that it may be easier to set up.
Would the analog connections offered by the TACT be comparable to the Rives in terms of sound quality?
As I have no ability to trial both systems in my home, any advice is much appreciated.
