Equalizer in a Hi Fi system

Nonetheless impressive, sorry. Typo 

Thanks...

Very honest review and i believe you...

By the way i understand you , because i enjoy already a stunning soundfield with spatial qualities  to some relative level  as described by BACCH reviewers... ( my embeddings controls works well for me + modified speakers+mechanical crosstalk limitation)

But i want to buy the BACCH  to really achieve it to a really complete level...

But as you i can wait...😊

You review confirm my reading studies of it : this is the real deal...

I am going to be brief, because I’m tired. But the BACCH preamp is the real deal. It didn’t envelope with regular records as much as I thought it would. But it was something else with binaural Chesky recordings of voices and various sounds. However those recordings were impressive in their panning and sound field anyway even without the BACCH in circuit. For regular music it did a couple of things. It widened considerably the soundstage with the beginnings of a wrap around effect, but never really got behind you. Was nonetheless the less impressive and easily noticeable in vs out. It also seemed to open the music and the dynamics.  Kind of took a veil off to make everything sound better. This was a smaller change but still easily noticeable. Can I live without BACCH? Yes, because while it does things differently I get equal amounts of improvement/fun from my studio grade analog EQ. If I didn’t have that I’d probably be buying a BACCH preamp. Mine is a lot easier to use and a lot cheaper though at 2700 dollars 😊

Pink Floyd Money was one of the BACCH highlights. I’m listening to it now on my loudspeaker system, of course with Charter Oak PEQ1 analog EQ. The guitar l solo in the middle. I closed my eyes and the guitar is emanating from 2 feet left of my left speaker. EQ off and it’s more veiled and 1 foot left of my left speaker. AND I’m tone shaping bass and treble to my heart’s desire. I add more treble than usual to this album. It’s slightly dark. Yes, I prefer my setup to the BACCH any day. But…what if I had both?…

I just listened the same track right now...

Money of Pink Floyd...

No sophisticated EQ, only 3 tone controls on my cheap but good tube preamplifier ....

😊

Guess what ?

The guitar solo is almost beside me at my left out of the speakers and the soundfield encompass my listening position OUTSIDE of the speakers by right and left and almost behind me ...( in nearfield listening with my 150 bucks speakers heavily modified in a controlled acoustic corner with some crosstalk mechanical control too )

Morality :

EQ so good it is dont replace vibrations/resonance control, nor acoustic room disposition nor electrical noise level control nor in my case a good tube pre-amp and a good dac...EQ does not replace my job when i modified the rear porthole of my speakers and the tweeter waveguide and  EQ could not replace it at any price even with  yours ...

And you had listened the BACCH on another system not on yours...😁

Me too it seems listening Pink Floyd i can live WITHOUT the BACCH filters...

Tonight i listened my headphone K340 with a SPEAKER LIKE SOUND OUT OF MY HEAD...

The point is the BACCH or EQ will improve any system but will not replace the gear design not the acoustic room control nor compensate for the electrical noise floor level, EQ nor BACCH will not repair the damage done by uncontrolled speakers vibrations and resonance......

I doubt any EQ can replace the BACCH filters if we look at how work EQ and how work the BACCH filters... There is no relation they are completely different beast one is an acoustic revolution the other a useful tool ...

No EQ can compensate for the loss of spatial information by crosstalk in any stereo system at any price...

I dont need sophisticated EQ it seems listening Pink Floyd Money as you described ..

I need the BACCH... 😊

When I purchased my system, I refused to be without EQ, specifically once I auditioned the Wavelet with my Legacy Focus XDs. I could not imagine not have control over poorly mixed recordings, being able to adjust all EQ, room correction, volume and subwoofer setting from my iPad anywhere in the house is absolutely the best feature of this system.
