@lordrootman , what do you think about room and speaker correction with SOTA DSP first (get room physically as right as you can before, actually. And speaker placement). Do all that first. Then would you say it’s ok to EQ tonally with high end analog gear? Or is that too much?
I have a good room I think, but haven’t DSP corrected speakers or room response yet. I just do analog EQ with a piece that I love and sounds absolutely sublime. Should I stop there, or try to do the DSP for speakers/ room too? Your thoughts infinitely appreciated!
Equalizer in a Hi Fi system
Just curious to hear everyone’s opinions on using an equalizer in a high end hi fi system. Was at work tonight and killing time and came across a Schitt Loki max $1500 Equalizer with some very good reviews. What are some of the pros / Benefits and cons in using one. Just curious. BTW. I’m talking about a top of the line. Hi end equalizer. Mostly to calm some high frequencies and some bad recordings.

Off the topic of equalizers. But am listening to the early 80’s bought vinyl I have preserved ever since of Peter Gabriel’s Security. Great album. The sound is just so much more integrated and musical and real sounding than its digital counterpart, the latter of which side by side simply sounds like a fake copy. It’s really stunning. The timbre and note saturation and fullness of the recording on that original vinyl is SO MUCH MORE SATISFYING. It’s really not even close. |
Happy New Year all! Over the weekend I did something I haven’t done in 10 years. I moved my speakers all around in terms of distance from front wall and toe in to see if the current longstanding setup is indeed the best. Spent hours trying different distances and toe ins. Indeed my room interacts best with my speakers from the perspective of the listening position exactly where they have been for 10 years. So I guess I got that right in the beginning 👍😊. Now, as setup, I hear appropriate image specificity without things shifting between left and right as tones change frequencies. Vocals are heard as dead center. Bass response is extremely linear and even to my ear without standing wave frequencies or null frequencies to my ear. I therefore do believe I have a reasonably good room and am hearing what I should from my loudspeakers. Not sure what DEQX could do to improve but still want to try. And still will travel soon to BACCH showroom across the state. Oh…and still got the hots for SPL PQ. The looks. Love the red and layout of dials. Gorgeous piece. Have no idea if sounds better than my beloved CO’s. |
Happy new year and thanks for your interesting posts ... We wait for your impressions for the BACCH ... 😊 thanks tlcocks |
