If you own another source, does it provide the expected soundstage? If so- try upgrading your 6922s, to a couple pairs of upper-crust, NOS types(ie: Siemens/Amperex/Mullard/Telefunken). Another area to upgrade; tonearm to Manley and Manley to preamp interconnects. All the above can make a major difference, regarding stage width and depth. Of course: effects/benefits are also cumulative. Did you try that(better performing) ARC phone stage with your TT? Everything’s predicated on the cart/arm being meticulously set up.
Looking for phono preamp recommendations
Really need some feedback on phono preamps. I have a clearaudio innovation with Koetsu Black cart. This goes currently goes into a Manley Chinook. Other gear is Pass Labs preamp/amp, Wilson Yvette’s.
I don't feel the Manley is delivering the full soundstage for me. I looked and demo’d The ARC Ref 3, lots of $’s and thinking I can do better at a lower cost than the ARC Ref 3.
Looking forward to recommendations. .
