Tact Pre Amps 2.2XP

I purchase TacT new from Aberdeen Components.

As Mike pointed out, even though TacT is targetd for a primary listening point, the entire room benefits. Arguements that it makes the rest of the room worse are not true and generally misconceptions from those who have never used TacT.

I was an early adopter of TacT and even though I have never upgraded to the more recent models I feel comforted to know that my equipment is not really dated for three reasons.

First, it does what I need it to do. Tri-amping with no analog crossovers or low-level DACs in my system (2-way + two subs). Two, new gear and what I have are based on the same physical layout. I can replace boards or any other part I need to keep going for many years. This is important since I can't think of anything I would rather own. Three, Aberdeen Components has modded my TacT gear to a level I would not have thought possible. That is a big part of why point number two is so important.

I just bought a 2.2xp and two 2150 from tact directly and found Boz really helpfull. Great service. Agree that its another ballpark and a steep learning curve,especially for an analog audiophile and none too good w/ computer.However its well worth the hassle as nothing else will give you as much performance and flexibility for the price. Plus you can modifiy the equipement if you want even more liquidity and fluidity.

Any experience with the Mini as compared to the 2.2XP?

I had a read ( or tried to) of the manual and various updartes of the 2.2XP.

Is it just me or is this unit incredibly complex to operate and make your own eq settings?? I am an analog guy.

I just used the Lyngdorf roomperfect P1 and it is very good, however you can't make your own eq settings. To be honest the 6 pre set's are good, but the treble is flat and it needs to be rolled off on most settings - hence looking at the Tact 2.2XP.
