Better still, you can tweak this correction curve, should you find the results not quite to your tastes (more on this later). Give it a few minutes to process what it measures and you can then apply the room correction curve to your sound. The multi-point time/frequency acoustic measurement is quick and reasonably painless (you need to place the ‘3D’ multiple microphone pod in the listening position at ear height, directed at the speakers, and the app does the rest of the work). This uses a supplied measuring microphone and a set-up wizard to compensate for the iniquities of the room/speaker interaction. The room optimisation section is probably the reason why most people who are thinking of a preamplifier might look to Trinnov, and with good reason. When it comes to cracking the Amethyst, the biggest problem for a reviewer is finding the right place to start. It’s kind of the Swiss Army Knife of audio hubs. The smarter part of it is it’s also a room/loudspeaker optimiser, and it’s even an active crossover, although in fairness, I didn’t have the speakers to test this out. You see, the Amethyst does all the conventional things you might want from a preamplifier, such as a multitude of line and digital inputs (including UPnP networked audio) and a very fine (not to mention extremely clever) phono stage, but that’s just the jumping off point. Calling the Trinnov Amethyst a ‘preamp’ is a bit like calling Rafael Nadal ‘a tennis player’ it’s true, but dramatically fails to get across the bigger picture.
