Again, thank you. I appreciate the expertise here. rauliruegas , I agree that the JC3+ is a fine phono stage. As for the REL's they are utilized for the lows below 32hz which is the bottom end for the Spatial Audio M3 Turbo S. It provides a great bass foundation. You can really hear the difference when they are off. The bass is tight and fast with no bloat.
Will Step Up Transformer Improve the Sound Quality?
I'm wondering whether a step-up transformer would improve my analog signal path. I have a VPI Prime Signature with a Dynavector 17D3 Karat cart. My phono stage is a Parasound JC3+. The rest of the path is a PS Audio BHK Signature Preamp and a Pass Labs X-150.8 amp into Spatial Audio M3 Turbo S speakers and dual REL S/3 SHO subwoofers using Audience cables. I am looking for advice as to whether adding a SUT would markedly improve the sound. I am also looking for recommendations as to which SUT's would work well in this system.

Thank you for the great feedback. I did not perceive an issue with the sound of my system. I just wanted to get this forum's opinion on whether this was a worthwhile enhancement. mijostyn thanks for the other insights on my system. I am content with the bass but what is your advice on the REL's - is it a tweak or are you saying that the crossover issue is inherent with the REL's. |
