Also, my musical tastes are continuing to evolve with my desire for different equipment. Combine that with diminishing hearing as a function of age (53) and the conclusion is, forget your legacy to the kids, get good gear now! Thanks for this post. It has focused me.
I'm getting more hooked on the music server thing every day!
Nice post, Scott. I completely agree about needing some kind of adjustability. A little aside - For those running Squeezeboxes or Transporters, Inguz has a neat graphic EQ feature that I convinced Hugh to migrate to quasi-parametric. The "quasi" is that bandwidth is not externally adjustable, but the centers are. This really creates a cool option for those not wanting to go full-bore on room correction. A few test tones and maybe SPL meter are all you need to track down FR issues. He's chipping away at it, but the Inguz solution is still a LONG way from TacT in both ease of use and interface. Of course, the complete solution will set you back for 1/10 the TacT price of which Hugh gets exactly jack.I've put a request on the Audiophile page at the Slim forum to have a full parametric EQ as a standard feature of the Slimserver software. So far, nobody seems very interested which I don't understand. If anyone sees the visionary wisdom of this please go over there and pitch in a couple of cents.
I eventually faced up to the fact that making changes is a big part of what makes this hobby fun. In other words, I'm in with the guys who say "the journey is the destination."
