[quote author=playntheblues link=1129936589/0#6 date=1129979394] 2). Buy a TAcT 2.2 X room correction preamp. I am not terribly fond of adding digital to my system but from what the guys on audio circle post they are very happy with the TAcT equipment. [/quote]
Well, just as another data point, I have had the 2.0 version of the Tact in my system for several years now, but I have recently decided that it just isn't doing enough for me to keep around. (I'm also eliminating my DAC from the chain, so part of this is to just simplify the signal path.) In my system/room, the Tact made a clearly audible difference. Unfortunately, I was never really convinced that the difference was actually an improvement. I left it on most of the time, but every time I switched back into bypass mode, I found myself wondering if it was really better with it in or just different. When I removed it from the circuit entirely, I found a noticeable increase in transparency; if the processing had really improved my in-room response, it probably would have out-weighed this. This could mean that I just needed to spend more time tweaking the response curves, but I remain unconvinced (and I really found the software tweaking process kind of a pain). On the other hand, a friend of mine swears by his Tact (and he really likes tweaking the response curves), so I suspect its effectiveness depends a lot on your room, your associated equipment, and your interest in fiddling with response curves. Once my new Torii finishes burning in, I'm going to try the Tact one more time with my RL-3's, but if I don't find a real improvement, it's off to Audiogon...
