Which Digital processor/equalizer ?


Any experience from low cost beringer ultra to the audyssey pro or any other type. Most seem to do the same thing but have big monetary discrepancies

They all do different things. You have to first decide what processing or eq you need.

But you still have not told us what you want to do? EQ recordings? EQ speakers? EQ room? Digital? Analog? 2 channel? Multichannel? Even price range?

Kal
There are many options for room EQ but the best are for multichannel systems and are digital. Among them are the Audyssey and the TacT. Also, there are more from the "professional" market from the inexpensive Behringers (which some have found sonically unacceptable except for bass) to the complex, integrated JBL Synthesis system.

The z-systems products are wonderful can be used for this purpose but, imho, are more suited to program EQ than to room EQ.

Again, one cannot make recommendations unless you tell us a lot more about your system.

Kal
The z-system is ideal but is digital and so will not affect your TT input. I suggest you define the frequencies of interest and, if they fall in the right range, consider the PARC as the most effective and yet benign 2 channel device. Goes between preamp and amp.

Tough task anyway, for stereo.

Perfecto! Rives PARC is the ideal solution for you (short of massive acoustical treatments).

If you say so. I have no experience with them and was merely pointing out what I have heard. Your opinion is equally valid.

""Transparency" is a subjective thing. One should judge for themselves."
Agreed.

"One model he was selling for something like $50, but there were few sales. He jacked the price up to $200, and now they are selling well!"
Does this refer to the Behringers? ;-)
