They don't have an analog solution yet. The acoustics of my room were pretty good to begin with (impulse measurements, etc). I have basic first reflection room treatments which improves some of the most noticable room effects (also by measurement). On chamber or solo voice the effect of the Sigtech isn't as startling but is noticable. However, no room treatment is going to adjust for all the nulls and peaks from 20-250 Hz let alone an asymmetric room. I have an A to D converter after and EAR or Phenonena MC phon preamp and it sounds quite good. For very large scale works I prefer CD anyway. One caveat, I use Dunlavy SC-V which have flat frequency and superb impulse respone. I've been told by Sigtech that the change in listening experience is greater in speakers that aren't impulse coherent.
TacT Room Correction System processors
Anybody have any experience they'd like to comment on with regards to the TacT digital room correction processor? The Tact is similar in function to Perpetual Technology's perpetually promised room correction processor. Any other digital room correction processors out there on the market? (Note -- a room correction processor is much more than a a garden-variety equalizer; it measures the speaker/room impulse response and applies its inverse to the signal, nullifying colorations and resonances imparted by the speaker and room. An RCS may be thought of as a "super"-equalizer in that equalizes both amplitude and delay at all frequencies in exceedingly small resolution bands far smaller than an EQ's typical 1/3 octave bands.)
