Am I using the right speaker cables?


I am seeking some advice.

My system just does not sound like it has enough bass.

I am using:

Speakers Kef 207/2 

Pre amp: Gat Conrad Johnson

Amplifier: Conrad Johnson 350SA

Phono: Conrad Johnson TEA2 MAXHG

Turntable: Kuzma with EMT JSD P6 cartridge, turntable arm Kuzma point 4, 9'

Interconnects: Harmonic Technology Magic Link III

Power cables: Nordost red dawn on phono amp
                        Analysis Plus Pro power oval on Gat CJ
                        Analysis plus pro power oval on turntable power ac source (kumza)
                        CJ amp original cable 20 amp

Speaker cables: Nordost Frey 2 - 4 meters.


How do I get my system to sound a bit more bassier

Thanks

I’m with jeneral as far as placement goes. Both where your speakers are AND where your listening position is, have a significant effect on what you hear, bass in particular. I set my gear up with the speakers 1/3 of the way from the front wall and my listening position 1/3 of the way from the rear wall............excellent bass, deeper, tighter, cleaner and everything else improved along with it.........and I don’t have mega-buck cables or interconnects.

You may also consider room treatment...All rooms have problems, all rooms have bass problems. This can be addressed for a very reasonable amount of money and when done well, can make a huge improvement in everything.

I doubt that your cables, any cables, would make as much difference as proper set up.

Until you get your set up right, anything else is a waste of $$$.
