    Video delay device to sync with dsp audio

    Does DSP belong in State of the Art Systems?

    T Tim, I'm just starting a process of using acourate for crossover filters as a crossover ( aided by a friend) and as far as I can see getting it all as close as you possibly can prior to using acourate is the key ..

    Confirming that improvements still work over time is a great move ... you may have previously corrected by limiting something that treats the symptom but is not the cause.
