Rives PARC parametric equalizer


Hi, for those of you who have used the PARC, how many of you feel that the device impacts the dynamics of the sound, and takes some "life" out of it? And if so, was it bothersome?

Doing what Dotsystem does, i.e., "The preamp signal sent for the midrange and treble amp does not pass through the PARC" would cause a time-delay in the bass section, wouldn't it?

How can a person compensate? Please advise...
Good question Jburidan. I was wondering about it myself.
Rives: is the time delay introduced by the PARC significant enough to be heard or is it something negligible?
I've done what Dotsystem does in a previous system and had no issues. The PARC is an analog device, no A/D and D/A and buffering associated with the time delays. You are right that with a digital parametric this could be a concern, but with analog circuitry it's negligible.
What a great thread. I commend Rives for 'old fashioned' down to earth practical involvement.
