In Reply to: TACT RCS 2.0 DD w/ Quad ESL 63 - Any good? posted by Zenjabil on May 15, 2005 at 16:18:02:
It will do fine so long as you understand that TacT RCS is not a plug-n-play addition. You have to be willing to spend time to tweak your target curve. Also you are limited to 9db of correction which is part of the reason RCS is not a plug-n-play solution. If you buy used, make certain your purchase includes the software and rs-232 cable.There is a yahoo group for TacT which is the best place for support.
Follow Ups:
I'm okay with the weeks (and perhaps months) of tinkering that might be required, as well as with the 9db limitation. I'm considering a purchase directly from Tact (they sell a refurbished 2.0 on their webshop with all the accessories for $1,490 - presumably this includes the software - BTW, what's an rs-232 cable?). I have no doubt that the Tact works quite well in most environments, but I really have two specific queries:1. Does DSP such as that provided by the Tact RCS work well (at all) with dipolar speakers like electrostats, or does the backwave compromise the Tact's abilities
2. Since I'll only be using the unit in the digital domain (D/D version only) and use no subwoofer, is the 2.0 as good as the 2.0S or 2.2X for my purposes?
i don't have dipoles but i imagine that so long as both speakers are equal distance from the wall it won't matter much.i have RCS 2.0. it works fine for me. 2.0s provides for smoother granularity in correction curves. 2.2x is for systems with subs.
rs-232 cable is required to connect the RCS to your computer.
the yahoo tactaudio usergroup is the best place for the answers you seek.
Thanks. I would have thought the Tact 2.0S introduced further refinements in transparency etc. (other than improved granularity in setting response curves). At any rate I'll check out the Yahoo usergroup.
