Just curious to hear if folks here use Trueplay or turn it off?

Every situation is different for every room, every person’s ears. But for me, I’ve come to turn Trueplay off as it seems be hindrance to sound quality than tuning and keeping it. Night and day difference. I might change mind later. But sounds more detailed and full with no Trueplay for me.

Anyone else find the sound much better with or without Trueplay?

Some rooms, I use it, others I don’t perceive a difference, so I leave it off. In no cases does it ever make things ‘worse’, just not ‘better’ to my ears. But I suspect it is subjective, and different users have different experiences, based on their own hearing, rooms, and speaker setups.

I know a fellow who has some hearing loss and runs the tone controls and sub at max. TruePlay would be a disaster for him. TruePlay can’t accommodate variations in individual ear response.

i also think that we accommodate to the room response over time and any sudden change can seem out of place — regardless of which response is “correct”.
