Samhar is probably correct. Lower the arm a bit, and the bass will most likely improve. This is typical of a Grado. It could take quite a few plays for the suspension to loosen back up on an NOS Grado that has been sitting idle for awhile, too.
new cart and Where's the bass ?
So I was dusting the plinth awhile back and broke the cantilever on my clearaudio virtuoso wood. That cart sounded great until that horrible accident. So I got a Grado Statement 1 (nos) from a friend. This cart has never been used was about $2800 a few years ago, now it is $3500. A moving iron .5 mv . I loaded it at 47-50 k and a 60 db gain from my Phonomena. It sounds good on the highs, midrange, female vocals, soundstage, smooth etc. The bass is missing.
I mean missing like not there. I tried a lower loan at 2k and noting.
What's going on here? Is this thing a lemon or am I missing something?
Thanks
