Advice- wiring for dedicated sound room

CARA - Room Acoustic Software
Yes that is helpful.That sounds like fun. Most of the little toys we get for our systems are stuff that we plug in and then listen to. That is certainly fun but this, OH THIS lends itself to ENDLESS tinkering in pursuit of a high science as well a... 
CARA - Room Acoustic Software
Woudl I be correct if I assume that CARA can also be used to make hypothetical changes to a listening room such as a pair of tube traps or that small sink and wet bar that my wife seems to be thirsting for?JD

Room correction in high-end system???
My system is similarly high end...spectral/theta/eidolon.I would not mind trying a tact or a sigtech. I can tell you that I listened to a high end (wilson/krell) system both with and without the sigtech. The difference was not at all minor and thi... 
Room Acoustics Problem?
Bob,How much di dthe Tact cost?I have spectral equipment and eidolons. Do you notice any difference in the sound that is not desirous by using the tact and having anothe rpiece of electronics fo rteh signal to run through?Also what is your experie... 
New formats, same old story?
That room correction unit is certainly good news. I have listened to a sigtech offering room correction and the difference was greater than most other hardware tweaks we use.JD 
Which XLR interconnect for spectral gear
great thanks alljd 
Which XLR interconnect for spectral gear
Frank,Which 350!!!!btw, spectral still pooh poohs balanced as I just spoke to them today. On their own website they have a review of the 360's which seems to say that balanced are the way to go.jd 
Which XLR interconnect for spectral gear
