My TACT can produce a pretty much ruler-flat response from 20Hz to 16Khz in my room with my system - but I prefer a gentle roll-off from 14k up of about -2dB.
I don't agree there is anything magic about 200hz or how well DRC works above/below that. My experience has been very different from those folks who claim DRC only works (or works properly) at lower frequencies. In particular my system in my room has a nasty suckout in the midrange that needs a fair bit of boosting in the 1-4Khz region. The system sounds very natural (to me) with DRC on and very boring and uninvolving with it off. Also, the left/right imaging locks into place with DRC whereas my asymmetric room won't allow that normally. I have one speaker near to 2 walls and another near only one wall. Unfortunately I can't rearrange the room for many complex and boring reasons. Each to their own of course. -- Phil Leigh You want to see the signal path BEFORE it gets onto a CD/vinyl...it ain't what you'd call minimal...SB3+Stontronics PSU - Altmann JISCO/UPCI - TACT RCS 2.2X with Good Vibrations S/W - MF X-DAC V3/X-PSU/X-10 buffer (Audiocomm full mods)- Linn 5103 - Linn Aktiv 5.1 system (6x LK140's, ESPEK/TRIKAN/KATAN/SEIZMIK 10.5), Townsend Supertweeters, Kimber & Chord cables ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Phil Leigh's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=85 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=42957 _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/audiophiles
