DSP...you know,the kind that presets the decay time,reverb and is supposed to make it sound like your in a church,concert hall,disco,stadium,jazz club or whatever. I have an older Sony CD player that has this and it can make a dead,flat sounding CD come alive. Does anybody else use this? Do manufactures still offer this? Can you get a free standing DSP unit?

Oh yeah...I like the new forum,Thanks

I had a Yamaha DSP-1 way back when. Now, of course, somewhat similar (but often simpler) processing is incorporated in a lot of home theater gear. My own experience is that I chased such enhancements for years, always finding that after the initial "gee whiz" reaction, I eventually preferred straight, unprocessed (except for room eq) 2-channel stereo.

I have Rich's old DSP-1, It's neat to play around with, but I prefer my Lexicon CP-1+. I also just picked up a CP-2. Pretty versatile units.

I've got an outboard Nikko unit, and a pair of powered a/d/s/ units (acoustic dimension synthesizers) that do this.

Neat items.

My a/d/s/ are in need of reair, but they are well-regarded.

The Yammie model works real well.

I also like the Nikko.

Modern day pro gear has really jumped in with both feet. Take for instance the Crown XTi series of amps with built in DSP technology and LCD displays. You can correct for any room, speakers or configuration. I've even seen these used for bi-amping speakers with no crossovers. You just set it up in the amp itself. Very techie and very cool.

I have a Luxman RV-371 HT reciever. It has a Lexicon processor with a bunch of music processing settings. Very cool but my Ohm SCT's that I used in the rear are just sitting since I switched to a McIntosh amp. If/when my Ohm F's are done being restored I my re-hook them.
