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

Hi Jake,

Your set up is really stellar! Someone above had mentioned an EQ? Would hate to suggest something as heretical to the audiophile “flat” exprectation as incorporating an EQ, but I’m considering one of these:

Really well made, quiet, attenuated just right, well thought-out in terms of roll-off, a bipass included. etc. Not just for headphones. Nothing but great reviews.

Ive got a reverse problem, too much bass! Love my speakers (Tekton Lore), my room’s a bit trappy for them regardless of positioning...but it also depends on what I’m listening to so adjusting to the recordings is where it’s at. If you don’t mind tinkering! :)



Hey Jake,

Should have read your latest post, happy that worked out! maybe I should read more manuals ;)

Cheers!


If requiring an upgrade in speaker cable in the future then please enquire into Synergistic Research Atmosphere X range, they rival the top Nordost at a fraction of the price and you can tune them by simply changing a screw in bullet on them. These are no gimmick, just world class tonality from a exceptionally good price point.

jake 123 stated " All sounds awesome. Bass pumping and clear sharp highs." later in his thread after cable burn in.

I have a pair of Monopulse 82a speakers and the bass pours through the whole large building I'm living in, in a very deep natural way with semi high volume.

Nothing to do with subwoofers to have more bass if 2 channel speakers are capable as well as cables and amp(s) in use.
