My vinyl set up has as much bass if not more as my digital setup. I don't find analog reproduction lacking any punch. My Thoren 320 MK III TT with Benz Micro cartridge and Audio Research PH5 phono amp provide plenty of boom. Recently played Beethoven's 5th and 6th symphonies and there was plenty of slam. My preamp, amp and speakers are Cary Audio SLP 03, Mark Levinson 23.5, and Thiel 3.6. I think your cartridge, phono preamp may have to do something about it.
Vinyl playback - lack of bass?
Alright, hopefully this isn't a dumb question.
I split my audio listening between analog and digital. Both setups use the same preamp/amp/speakers etc. I noticed that when listening to records, there isn't as much pronounced bass vs lets say when listening to tidal/qobuz. I'm wondering if its my phono that might have a lack of bass? or is it because my cartridge hasn't fully broken in yet? For fun , I connected my sub when I switched to side 2 yesterday, it helped pronounce the bass a bit more as I elevated the volume on the sub. But nothing crazy. but was decent enough.
Besides that, everything sounds fantastic and great on LP vs digital. Also, to mention, lately have been playing some older original rock records. I should try popping in a newer record for fun to see if it makes a difference (most likely not analog sourced of course). or I can try the new Black Sabbath Rhino release.
