Happy New Year all! Over the weekend I did something I haven’t done in 10 years. I moved my speakers all around in terms of distance from front wall and toe in to see if the current longstanding setup is indeed the best. Spent hours trying different distances and toe ins. Indeed my room interacts best with my speakers from the perspective of the listening position exactly where they have been for 10 years. So I guess I got that right in the beginning 👍😊. Now, as setup, I hear appropriate image specificity without things shifting between left and right as tones change frequencies. Vocals are heard as dead center. Bass response is extremely linear and even to my ear without standing wave frequencies or null frequencies to my ear. I therefore do believe I have a reasonably good room and am hearing what I should from my loudspeakers. Not sure what DEQX could do to improve but still want to try. And still will travel soon to BACCH showroom across the state. Oh…and still got the hots for SPL PQ. The looks. Love the red and layout of dials. Gorgeous piece. Have no idea if sounds better than my beloved CO’s.
Equalizer in a Hi Fi system
Just curious to hear everyone’s opinions on using an equalizer in a high end hi fi system. Was at work tonight and killing time and came across a Schitt Loki max $1500 Equalizer with some very good reviews. What are some of the pros / Benefits and cons in using one. Just curious. BTW. I’m talking about a top of the line. Hi end equalizer. Mostly to calm some high frequencies and some bad recordings.

Happy new year and thanks for your interesting posts ... We wait for your impressions for the BACCH ... 😊 thanks tlcocks |
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 😊 |
