Hi,

My Tact is the old model (not the S version). I was using the TACT until very recently. I think my curve building skills are not very good. Comparing the TACT & PARC, the TACT sounds "thin" (i.e. high frequencies sound emphasised eventhough my curve has a gentle slope downwards as the frequency ascends). The PARC, on the other hand only attenuates the signal. This seems to work well in my system as my primary aim is to be rid of bass boom problems in my relatively small room, not to correct the whole frequency range of my speakers. Funny thing is, at one time, I tried to match the corrected curve to the in room measurement with just the correction in the bass region. This sounded very poor. I don't think I have the parametric equaliser (if you are referring to the add-in software for the TACT)

I have not tried the fire wire option for the Big Ben. It is relatively new & costs around 40% of the Big Ben itslf (although the USB mod cost about the same too).

Anyway, I do not have the itch to tinker too much at the moment as the setup sounds wonderful although I am designing a better encolsure for the PC (make it small & quiet).

Regards,
Joe LG
