What's up with lousy bass on classic rock recordings?
@mapman I use an SPL app on my iPhone routinely to protect my hearing and yes the low end down to 31Hz is prominent. Did you look at my system?

@baylinor @itsjustme @relayer101 @overthemoon @gosta  Thanks. All interesting and meaningful comments. Quick comment, I have LA Woman on vinyl, I was really surprised how good the SQ is too - bass is great - it's a lot of fun listening to that o...

@lowrider57 Looks like you have a nice system - I don't disagree with you - in hind-sight "lousy" bass was a poor choice of words.  What's missing is deep, lush bass that I've come to really enjoy that is present in many other rock recordings (an...

@highend64 this was my original assumption but others vehemently disagreed

Did some quick testing using Running with the Devil: Qobuz only (dont have vinyl) Remastered HR version and "Digital 45" CD D45 was a bit better, both with and without 80Hz sub-pass on, adding gain and volume to subs (separately). Still just...

Thanks jayfant but it’s not my system. As I mentioned several of the examples are vinyl.  Here is another example: I’ve got a lot of Tom Petty on vinyl but often stream for convenience and the bass is great on either medium. I do not have a CD/S...

Responding to the comments so far... I've listened to most of my rock examples on vinyl and digital. VH 1 was a digital remaster (Qobuz). The vinyl examples are not remasters, but also not original pressings. Another example is a MOFI Master of ... 
Building stands for Harbeth 40.2's
The resonant woods have round rubber pads separating the speaker from the base  - never compared them to TT I just took my dealers word that they were as good and less expensive - he could have sold me anything really cause I trust him.

@noromance  Project table sounds like a weak link. +1 from personal experience with an RPM 10 Carbon

@solypsa Good. I was looking at the Bordeaux before I bought the Aidas from you but could not get one at the time - a decision I enjoy immensely everyday!

@erik_squires good point, never had a boom box, but I did have JBL 6x9's with an Alpine head and amp in the trunk - that was fun  
Eva Cassidy "remastered"
I've heard it - via Qobuz - listened to the entire album - didn't know the back story until now - I really enjoyed it, but I admit I wondered how she got the opportunity (thinking it was done while she was alive). Really quite beautiful and I don... 
The Mood Was Ruined
It happens, it sucks, but it happens, fortunately not often. And yes, it ruins the whole album.  My copy of Dire Straits On Every Street has a different issue - "static" sounding - the whole album. Took it into my deal who has an Audio Desk - hel...

I don't have an direct experience but I'm personally very interested in Etsuro and they seem hard to get in the US - you might have better luck in Japan
