Is DSP room correction worth it with a high end analog system?


This question was inspired by a YouTube from “2021 Capital Audio Fest: Jefferson Room”. Even though a lowly MP4, this is the best I have ever heard a drum solo!

The speakers are the Arion Apollo system. I question going through an ADA conversion coming from my quite high end analog front end with a tube preamp. The Apollo system uses a, said to be the best of its kind, Trinnov ST2 processor.

Certainly room correction seems very useful but is it worth going through a digital conversion?

I am pretty sure that high end Trinnov is good DSP at 18,000 bucks... 😁😊

It is an electronical TOOL...

But my system value is 500 bucks...( too good now to take the trouble to upgrade it, i put all my 7 headphones in a closet i simply listen music with a good system not the best by all means for sure but... 😊)

I created my own mechanical room tuner for my specific speakers with a distributed grid of 50 adjustable Helmholtz resonators and diffusers at NO COST...

My post is to advise people no cost acoustic solution exist by virtue of simple acoustic and psycho-acoustic principles ...

Cost: a dedicated room and plenty of time to fine tune the mechanically flexible H. resonators ...

More fun than playing an electronical program and a concrete acoustic course for the ears in training because you are reaching out to your own ears not to a button you optimize your own hearing with the room pressure zones modifications...

My mechanical equalizer is permanent part of the room...Forget it for a living room....

I agree with Mahgister simple in room mechanical devices will have a major and fulfilling impact on the air and music in my room.

Under construction now are many devices that will contain upto 3000 individual components to enhance laminar flow in my room. 750 and counting upwards..incredible it is. Tom

Interesting site thanks...

I already deesigned my own corners room the same way though, my room is small 13 feet by 13 feet irregular and 81/2 feet high...😁😊

I used with my passive materials treatment  my H. resonators grid location and some 2 sections screen in wood behind me to concentrate the sound in the room in a better way.... It is like listening an headphone but with the sound out of my head....Bettter than my 7 headphones.... It is the poor's man way but with a not so poor sound quality....

I wish you the best with your enterprise the room seems very promising....
