Is this my imagination?

Hello,

I was happy with sound stage until yesterday. Before SLI-80 and cd player was on the floor. Put SLI-80 integrated amp and CD player on the table yesterday ( about 2 feet table). Seem to me that the sound stage is not the same, seem like not big and solid sound stage like before. Nothing change but the table. Do you think is that my imagination or that table high have something to do with the sound.

Thank you,
eddy1

YEP!! :)

Try stuffing the floor between with illows and/or throwing a comfortor on top of the parts that aren't tubes. :)

Just for listening, this is a quick exercise.  Prove it to yourself. Also put stuff on the sides, those speakers are pretty close to the walls.

You could ask GIK to make custom floor standing panels, maybe half height? They would work a treat.

And no, it is not your imagination, this is why I repeatedly encourage listeners to play with pillows and blankets on the floor, and between the speakers.

It is a MUCH bigger deal than cables.

Room acoustics! It's not so much vibrations, it's reflections. Throw a blanket on top of it all (not permanently)

Best,
