Rives PARC parametric equalizer

Any additional comments from users of the PARC

Super cool system you have there. I always felt a slight loss of resolution. Your system is all tubed and the application I installed the PARC in was all tubed also. It might not be as noticeable in a solid state system. Ultimately, I made room and tuning changes that satisfied me.
Looking at your room, I would recommend some tube traps to experiment with.

Interesting that this topic has returned. The comments by Rhljazz match my viewpoints on this subject. For a tube-based system where harmonic information and 3D is a strength of the system, the PARC is most definitely going to affect the performance of the system in these key areas.

My comments on using the PARC are here

Not only does the PARC alleviate modes that are untreatable with bass traps, ASC Super Traps in my case, reducing those modes significantly opens up the soundstage and transparency and improves elocution significantly.

I use the PARC and it's the best component in my system.

I find it very transparent and agree with Lenny_zwik that it can open up the soundstage. Getting the bass right has a lot of benefits.
