Pro-Ject Debut Carbon DC with Ortofon 2M Red Cartridge: BASS sounds 'muddy' The Reason?
My system consists of a pair of B&W 630’s, an old Denon 50 watt reciever (DRA-550) from the mid 80’s, a Marantz CD5004 cd player.
Also I’m probably going to be in the market for a new preamp/amp with a built in DAC soon. Would that solve the problem? Or do I need to upgrade the cartridge? If so please leave a link!
TIA
Thanks ct! I'll give it a try. Also, do you think this 'upgrade' is worth it? Pro-Ject: Acryl-It Platter Upgrade https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0097CY4NQ/ref=ox_sc_act_title_3?smid=A1FEN8WPYFT9YE&psc=1 |
I’m thinking if it was a problem with the Project TT then the muddy bass would be prominent on ALL recordings which is not the case. The other question I have is whether it’s better to buy a ProJect Debut Carbon DC and significantly upgrade the cartridge ($800 for example) and other tweeks or buy the Technics SL-1210GR (and buy a cheaper cartridge ($200) Finally, will upgrading the pre amp/amp solve the muddy bass problem. Again, thanks everyone for your help you’ve been very helpful! Klimt |
