I think that the Sigtech is significantly better and significantly more expensive. You can reach Sigtech at (617) 995-3500. Tact vs Sigtech has been discussed rather extensively over the last year. Check out the following threads:

I replaced my Theta Pro Gen Va with one about a year ago and really like it. There have been other threads about this unit recently comparing it to other units so you might want to scroll back through this forum. I recently got the dCS Elgar/972 combo. That combo is fantastic, but I really couldn't say that the improvement was equal to the cost difference ration. I think the Platinum is excellent using the balanced outputs on orchestral music. I also have a Gold in a bedroom system and it isn't in the same league
I had a chance to compare the P1A/P3A to the Platinum in my system. Based on that comparison, I believe the Platinum is a much better sounding unit. Of course it costs more. I haven't heard the EVS. I use a Sigtech for room correction.
