You don't lack bass, you have too much treble
@erik_squires  So I’m listening to Jazz @ 65-70 dbs and a trumpet pops in @80-85 dbs and it makes my ears hurt. The same can be said for Saxophone, electric guitars and some female singers.  I currently have 6 absorption panels and furniture and ...

@jwei  The music of my youth.  
Differences in YouTube, Spotify, etc.
I’m using Amazon HD and Qobuz.. Tidal never did it for me.  
Parasound Halo JC 1+
What’s the difference between the JC1 and the JC1+ that would make you want to go through all the hassle of trading?

I just bought a pair of PS Audio BHK300’s and the BHK preamp. I’ve been using separates for ever, tried a Hegel H390 ( very good ) but just went back to separates. The amps are fairly neutral and have a lot of punch when it’s needed.  The input st... 
How does a preamp die from sitting unused for a few months?
How old is the preamp in question? Look for any caps that might be pooched or leaking. Double check the fuse. I’ve had some blow where it took a magnifying glass to see the break. While you have the magnifying glass out look at the pc boards for a...
