Wadia direct into amp, Sound a bit too lean??


Hello everyone:
I need a little help here. I'm using my Wadia 861se direct into my Rowland 302 amp, but the sound is a bit too lean for my taste. I'd like to make the sound of my system to be fuller by changing the ICs. Any comment will be helpful. The rest of my system are: Avalon Eidolon, Acoustic zen silver reference II ICs, Hologram II speaker cables, MIT oracle AC2 for wadia.

Thanks,
Jerry

Jerry,

I have had the same problem running Wadia 7 & 9 directly into my amplifier. I have tried interconnects and power cords with very marginal improvement. Finally I tried the Z-systems RDP-1 and the search was over. The combination is simply awesome to say the least. Follow Nickt's advise, you should look for a quality pre-amplifier.
