Anyone notice lack of bass with sanders preamp??????
like it disappeared, wtf. Over speakers closer to wall, a wee better, but still........seems lacking.
Will cables help? A good CD player?
I h age early 90's audioquest Quartz, and using an old Sony cd/dvd player |
This is what I have. New furman power strip ac cond/surge, only for other components, amps plugged into wall. McCormack dna750's, sanders preamp. Audioquest Quartz 1m from preamp to amp. Using toshiba sd4000 as CD player, with audioquest turquoise.
Pair of energy rc-70's hooked up with real 8 awg wire via fake nakamichi locking bananas, same as all the other nak bananas out there, only a 10mm hole to put the thick 8 awg wire.
Also tried ipod, bass is very null, it's there, but it is lost in the music, the treble/mids are very in front of everything with cd and iPod
could the pre be this thin? As. Mentioned wi th my onkyo p-308 from 1989 I have great bass. I replace with sanders, and the bass is weak. |
Ok, I have some minor good news, that damn static I was getting from my tweeters is fracking gone!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I replaced my audioquest Quartz with audioquest XLR’s and mother fuc*** the static vanished! I’m so happy, now, I have to deal with the volume, I’ll report back shortly, lil guy sawing logs, can’t throttle the amps just yet, I’ll let you all know as soon as I can test the bass response, it does seem to be better, but could be placebo with XLR cables installed.
Why hey would xlr's cause that static to disappear????? And be present with rca interconnects? |
I would never compare d9's to sanders as far as speakers. Hahahah
jo compare. D9 are rock speakers. Sanders way out of the league in comparison.
Having a problem with missing bass when i switched to the sanders pre.
Im getting the empress cables by grover for my connections. I hope they can add some low freq, all i need is a wee more. |
Can I wrap some foil/elec tape on the cables where they touch?
It is not possible to have them not touch. This wouldn't add bass to my dilemma. I would hate to return the sanders pre! |
Ok, had a friend bring over some NWA , technotronic, ice-t, and other bass heavy stuff on cd.
There me was an improvement in the bass dept as expected playing rap, techno. When I play regular rock, bass disappears, could it just be the recording, and the preamp is very revealing/neutral to the source material???????????? I'm so boggled still why this heavy hitter pre is so weak on the bass dept. everything else is great!
Ac/dc ball breaker does have a little tighter bass than other cd's, maybe it's just the recording? I have bass, but can't hear it that much from my couch about 8-9 feet away, whereas with onkyo preamp, I can get the China to jingle/clang on the shelves, and the window hanging stuff to rattle. With t he sanders, I only had some window shaking with the rap(which is good) but nothing else. I don't know if I should send It back for a look-see by the man who makes them, or live with it. I was recommended the Conrad Johnson et3, or the matching pre (McCormack ld-2).

Why did you get rid of it? |
Sanders pre had no noise? Static? Or is a good quality product?? |
Deon sanders, not Bernie :) |
I have nothing but good things mentioned on all Rogers gear.
After I get t he preamp, I'm starting a fund for his speakers.
I wonder if they will hit as hard as my old cerwin vega d9's ?
i am praying the old onkyo is the cause of the tweeter static/crackling I get, and when I plug in the sanders pre, I will not hear the crackling. Everyone please pray to the metal gods I don't have the static. |
Swapped new sanders, took out old onkyo. Now there's radio stations and constant tapping noise from tweeters, wtf is going on in this house ??? Anyone have any thoughts to this noise I'm g eating? I'm out of my mind, unplugged every damn thing 100 times, no static, I plug in preamps, and I get machine gun snare drum, constant, and now I can hear radio stations from tweeters |
I think i figured it. Shi$$y cables gave radio station int. Pioneer dv48 light static. Still static. Will continue to pull components/cables tkl infigue this out. Driving me nuts
