2.."the wand Arm " made in New Zealand, with a Zu/Denon 103, cartridge
3 .Phono stage, is PS Audio GPH4. Pre amp is PS Audio, stellar Pre/Dac5. Pair of audiolabs, mono blocks 2500 WPC
5 Zu Audio Soul MK 11 speakers!!Most of my  recordings, sould great, but there are a lot. that has good bass, but a harsh, sound overall!!I put this down to The Zu Cartridge, or the PS phono stage??I have never consider, the use of a "sub", as i don't no, how this worrks??Can you friends, give me a "heads up" ??.1. New cartridge??, yore input??
2. Different phono stage(I like a strong balls in the Bass)?3. Subs? I have no experience, with these, where do I place these??
Many thanks, any input would be appreciate !!

Cartridge selection certainly makes a lot of different in the sound, but I also find that mating the right tube preamp with a SS power amp makes for a very smooth, detailed, musical sound. And usually even adds to the sound-stage.
Just a thot.
