Help Me Improve My Turntable Set-Up

Hi,

Reaching out to the community in hope of some help.  I put together a system but I have been disappointed with the sound quality.  Any insight you guys can provide to make this come alive would be greatly appreciated. I have:

  1. Harbeth P3ESR speakers
  2. Schiit Aegir amp
  3. Schiit Saga tubes pre-apmp
  4. Schiit Mani phono amp
Thanks!
Andy

I have to agree with church man. Schiit is really good for the money, but they are really budget stuff. If you want to get what the Harbeth’s are capable of you are going to have to significantly upgrade all your electronic components.

Harbeth speakers have a great reputation. They have great potential.

What specifically is the problem. Lack of bass? Lack of details… imaging?

What is your room like? What is your speaker placement? Is all the equipment broken in… that is do all the components have at least 200 hours playing.

It is very possible the system is not set up very well, that can make a huge difference.

The system should start by being roughly in triangle you being at the apex and a bit further back than the distance between the speakers.. Start with them toed in pointing at your listening position.

The speakers need to be on solid stands (no vibration) and out of the corners.
