I still doubt it, but that is me! Quote:

It would - that is the classical definition of LOUDNESS function. No brainer when you consider speakers of limited abilities. The same profiled output will sound far better on decent speakers. Quote:

Slight difference between what you do and what I do. I audition with ALL TONE CONTROLS FLAT. If I like it, I buy it. Goes for anything - speakers, HU, amp, et al.
After buying I don't fiddle with it further to bring it to my liking - as there is a likelihood that I will miss completely what the original music recording was meant to convey to me. Beyond the natural capabilities of the system components, I don't add a personal listening bias to it, because that would be akin to changing the words of a poem to suit my personal preference. That seems to be a preferred method for you, and that is where we are different. Quote:

LOL that is, well, different reasoning.
a. An LOC costs 2K - far cry from 18K for DSP. That is clinching logic for most (please read up on the other threads on the economic preferences that members have here)!
b. If one replaces the OE HU with an after-market HU, the DSP is obviated in most cases, since most HUs have more than decent capabilities even for TA. And most serious listeners satisfy themselves with a really good 1DIN HU
c. If one talks about DSP, one has to necessarily specify external amp and decently capable components & coaxes. The internal amp won't cut it. Total investment for going from OE music to decent music would then amount to 35-40K not even considering OE HU change! |
