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

The trouble is your hearing changes even without a change in “mood.” Hearing changes based on 🔜 subconscious 🔚 interferences, shall we call them noise and distortion? And the brain is a sensitive transceiver? We could also call it mind-matter interaction. It’s a simple case of signal to noise + distortion but Noise + Distortion includes external factors, not just those from the electronics.

And if that's the case, then are you saying it's never ok to listen to music? The brain being too unreliable then? Is it too late for me to get my money back on my CD's? ;)

But then, that's just my own philosophy: "man is the measure of all things" since music is so basically experiential. 

 But, if you want to place your faith instead in a microphone and an algorithm then be my guest. But, again, from the videos, it looks like that is going to be every bit as unreliable objectively as well...

I also have STR Anthem and use ARC. My room sucks so this helps me a lot.

To user above who uses ARC do you still get diffusion boards and carpets and etc?

"To user above who uses ARC do you still get diffusion boards and carpets and etc?"      The better the room acoustics, the less the correction needed.      To me(my opinion); ARC shouldn’t be used to grind away major room/system problems.      Just a way to polish what remains, after any big issues are addressed.
