To Z or Not To Z - Systems


There hasn't been much talk about the Z-Systems EQ only. Does anyone have any experience with this unit - good side / bad side. I believe it is the RDQ - 1. I know TACT is out there but it takes sofware and seems to be more complicated.

Quite different. The z-systems is a totally digital and manually adjustable parametric EQ. I found it remarkably transparent.

The TacT is a computer-managed room equalizer with software for parametric EQ. It offers options for a/d and d/a, as well.
I own the Z-systems AND a Sigtech. The Sigtech corrects for my room. The Z systems lets me alter the tonal balance of poorly produced recordings. It is quite transparent.

The Z systems is NOT a substitute for a Tact or Sigtech room equalizer.
Finally something to talk about that makes sense! I use the rdp-1 with absolute enthusiasm. I agree that it is totally transparent. It allows one to tweak weak recordings and also to correct for room funk, (which everyone has.) Also, if one is so inclined, you could actually learn something about frequency deviations, (which ones you prefer and those that are so often attributed to this component or that one...)

Yeah, anyone who can afford one should have one, if only to tweak their cds. But, of course, everyone's room is a problem, except mine, where my speakers are absolutely flat, which is why I havent bought one. :-)
