Tact-2.2 X Preamplifier

"In the audio business, truly revolutionary components are rare. The Tact RCS 2.2XX room correction system is such a product, and one of the most sophisticated and powerful digital components I've ever encountered...."

"With the parametric equlaliser set flat I cued up a track and sat back. It took just a second for a huge grin to spread across my face. This system was making a radical improvement in my listening experience. Quite simply, the resulting sound was the best I have ever heard in my listening room."

"The biggest improvement concerned the bass frequencies. ... Now, with the RCS 2.2X in the system, the lowest registers were clean, fast and highly articulate, allowing the frequencies of hap and timpani to develop within the room, while the most subtle textures and micro dynamic shifts within the music could be heard clearly. ... The power of the timpani could be felt as much as heard, possessing a Tactile presence in the room that was a delight to hear."

>"It brought about one of those rare moments when you no longer have to try to put yourself at the original musical event - the system put you there. ... the soundstaging was phenomenal. The stage was simply huge, and deeper than anything I've heard to date, with a level of solidity that makes you want to get up and walk around the musicians."

"The smoothness and liquidity of vinyl is not lost through the Tact unit, while the clarity, are and openness ... is maintained."

"The RCS 2.2X is mandatory. It's likely to do more for recreating the musical experience in your room than any other upgrade I can think of."

"The 2.2X's finish and build are immaculate."

"Most audio systems sound good on certain tracks; very few avoid a pratfall if you go looking for material less to their liking. WIth the RCS 2.2X working its magic, it isn't just the sound that improves - the core musical expericnce does too, and its retained with a rare consistency."
