I can not live without "Room Correction"

Accuphase DG-28

I had been using Accuphase Digital Equalizer since 2001.

It is still working fine.

With room correction, the overall balance is much better with tighter base and flat high frequency.


I can not live without it.

Recently Lyngdorf got very popular with good room correction capability.

But I am a tube guy enjoying good timber out of it.

I will not go for Lyngdorf as amplifier.



But I recommend other people to try room correction.

If you are curious, you can try used DG-28 from Japan at 1,700

very interesting you have similar issues as I do. I've considered room correction but I too am a tube guy. I've looked at the Lyngdorf as well. There is also the new Anthem 2 ch Pre-Amp with their ARC room correction, link below. That would let someone use a tube amp or possibly some active speakers. there is also a 2ch integrated with ARC. I'm hopping we see more of this in the near future as its really something that works so well.

That Acuphase is unique but hard to come by in NA.

beautiful speakers by the way.

Cheap analog equalizer degrade the treble sound but not good digital equalizer.

With my Accuphase digital equalizer, I can get more airy sound with flat extension without degrading the quality.

That is the reason that I had been using it 18 years, the longest period in my 40 years of audio history.

There could be many other options of digital equalizers but I trust my Accuphase.

Lyngdorf is the best room correction i have ever seen .It is in the McIntosh A/V processors. like Mx150, MX151and  Mx160.

A room graphic EQ is not room correction.
the lyngdorf is very good ,get a vacuum tube preamp 
and I would think still be able to use the Lyngdorfs room correction. The Mentionof the Accuphase ,which build great
products ,these EQ you are using is just a frequency EQ,
room correction works totally different .it flattens out  peaks in the frequency response with problems within the room with digital processing it takes many frequency sweeps and averages tones
is a simplified way to put it.
which all rooms have tosome extent. IHave Bass EQ for my low frequencies ,but not full room EQ which is the best for getting 
the most out of your system.  .? WHO makes a good room EQ 
thatdoesnot break the bank if bought separately ?
