REGULAR PLAIN OLD "EQ" NO. You do realise that this is a computer program that
reads not just freq but time and distance
NOW I gave up the scopes and other sophisticated gear I used to have, but the literature
says it compensates for rooms, and I TEND TO BELIEVE THEM.
Why? Because the results speak for themselves, and the results are silly good .
I didn't use AUDYSSEY the first several months, only after setting up a friends receiver
including his AUDYSSEY, and being floored by the results. A modest Onkyo 508
and it sounded amazing, so I decided to try it. SO I understand your skepticism.
I was there also. AND trust me, this is not a simple compensation program.
Its a software program and a silly triangle shaped mike, and the results are amazing.
IT combats bad sound, in other words, and is something else entirely.
