Help Me Improve My Turntable Set-Up

Hi,

Reaching out to the community in hope of some help.  I put together a system but I have been disappointed with the sound quality.  Any insight you guys can provide to make this come alive would be greatly appreciated. I have:

  1. Harbeth P3ESR speakers
  2. Schiit Aegir amp
  3. Schiit Saga tubes pre-apmp
  4. Schiit Mani phono amp
Thanks!
Andy

Can you try a more powerful amp?The Harbeths are wonderful speakers but they need power to really come alive. Also those speakers are meant for a small/medium room.Along with a couple of subs in the back corners they will rock.

Thanks everyone.  I do have a good set up.  The Harbeths are on stands that bring them to ear level.  They are set away from the corners.  My chair is centered between the two speakers.  The speakers are pointed at the listening position.

I do agree with jtcf1's suggestion that I get a more powerful amp.  The Aegir does seem under-powered.

Please let us know what phono cartridge you have. Also, room size would be helpful.

Or get another Aegir and run them in mono!
