Tee, I can get you a LT for cheap if you need or are looking for on.

I will be making no money on this so I dont think it will bother anoyone.

so basiacally you use place the rta mic at your listening position and adjust the eq untill you achieve a relatively flat curve on the rta?

yes. Using pink noise is the best method. As mentioned by Jimj already, it compensates for human ears rolloff. then from there you can use fine EQ adjustments for how you prefer certin types of music to sound and set them in memory.

screw the flat setting, shoot for a curve. sounds so much better.

that's a 3dB step.

search ebay for real time analyzer(the behringer rta's are like $149-$259), or get a laptop, mic, and preamp like mentioned and try www.trueaudio.com/ or http://www.virtins.com/

Why do that? Pink noise is already compensating for the rolloff. That is just introducing an emphasised bottom end. Not my cup of tea, that is for sure.

because a flat setting sounds like shit, the curves sounds sweet

iirc a 2dB steps sounds natural

To each his own I guess, thats what EQs are for.

for SQ juding to get points yes a flat as possible setting is a necessity, but for listening I'd shoot for a smooth curve, which is what I posted.
