Is Auto Room Correction Right For You? Well, Here You Go...

Not for me. Thanks

I'm pretty much that way too...

I was  against until I tried it. Now would not be without.

Fundamental question, for those who dismiss it out of hand,, have you tried it?  I would offer that if you have no experience with it then "not for me" doesn't really add much to the conversation. If you do have experience and it is still not for you then why not tell us why?

I also have a tube based vinyl set up that I do not use room correction with since I prefer not to digitize the vinyl. Mainly because at this time I don't want to buy the level of ADC it would require to, in my mind, do it right. But if starting with digital, it makes sense to optimize it.

I use the built in processing with my Trinnov  for my 7.3.6. theater and it is a game changer

For 2 channel which is a separate system, I added Audiolense filters with the help of Mitch Barnett to Roon and it is quite the eye opener. No matter how good everything else is, your speakers and perhaps more importantly, your room will have a profound effect on the sound. Well done DSP along with proper room treatment can overcome many of these problems and take it it to another level. My system is no slouch (posted here) and it is properly set up, my room is treated, but DSP has been a very, very worthwhile improvement.


here is a good place to start

One of the best things auto-calibration systems can do is integrate the subwoofer to the main speakers for you, something most audiophiles have to guess at.
