Many great suggestions here. I agree with trying 'no cost' or the cheapest changes first like room placement, etc. As for cables (which could be the issue), check out the Cable Company (www.thecableco.com). They have a lending library where you can audition cables then return the ones you don't want. That's a good way to experiment with other cable brands. And definitely check cable placement--I accidentally crossed speaker cables once and the sound was really weird. Once I double checked all the connections---voila! Everything was right again. Good luck and let us know what you end up doing.
What is wrong with my system?
Hi everyone -
I’m posting here because individually I think my components are all good, but together my system is not making music, rather is is making bright bass less noise. Honestly, I’m thinking it’s no one component, but the matching of components that is causing this issue. I would like to get everyone’s opinion as to what I’m hearing. My components are as follows:
B&W 802D (first generation diamond)
Audioquest bi-wired Indigo speaker cables
Classe CAM-200 monoblock amplifiers
Audioquest Water XLR interconnect
Bryston BP26 preamp
Audioquest Water XLR interconnect
Mark Levinson 5100 cd player (PCM slow minimum phase)
thanks in advance.
