In live sound I use a driverack that has a built in room correction feature to tune the system to the room. So it got me thinking about my vintage stereo. I ended up using a 31 band dbx eq. I played pink noise into the room and listened to it with a real time analyzer app. Then I just adjusted the eq to flatten out the room. I think it worked good and it sounds really good.

But do you understand what Im saying? Either our basic turntables all suck and vinyl is problematic OR the people spending thousands on crazy turntables are stupid. On some level I like the consistency of a high res music app.

Thats something that bothers me about vinyl. All the hype surrounding needle type, cartridges, arms ,turntables, preamps etc… if all of those make such a big difference in what you hear doesn’t that make vinyl a bad source? I mean Im never going to buy that $70k table with the $10k cartridge so might as well quit buying vinyl right? And if I can just play my music app lossless what would the person who invested thousands into a turntable and records say if it sounds as good?
