Vinyl playback - lack of bass?
@grk  Thanks, I will check them out. Looking at their site, I have some similar local companies that might compare to that one.

@merland100 oh yeah, the 810lp is 2 jumps higher than mine and of course the TT as well. I might look into the P8 or P10 or go another route entirely. Im not sure yet. 891 must also sound really nice!   @grk I have to check, I believe I still ne...

@stevencason I think everything should be setup properly, the technician from the store I bought it from set it all up for me.

@vair68robert  yes , correct, which I used to have the Aria before. Hence the confusion it caused me when i moved over. I do indeed have 66dB setting on balanced connection.  Wow, that Tavish looks nice! I never heard of them before.

@vair68robert that is the issue sadly. Capacitance Loading options are only 0pF, 100pF and 470pF and i was told to use 0pF and was told its not supposed to be that high for an MC cartridge, they were confused. the max i could try is 470pF, but no...

@vair68robert  just to add, i just found info that I had asked in the past. So Im pretty sure i have Capacitance Loading set to 0pF as per the recommendation in the manual from Moon. they also re-confirmed this with me. And Impedance/Resistance Lo...

@vair68robert  Im going to open it up and check. Here is where Im confused and because of my bad memory, I dont remember, but I know Ive had this discussion possibly with moon directly. Resistance loading : J12 and J30 is 1k but in Ω . Capacitan...

alright, so I did some testing last night on 2 songs. Daft Punk album. With the LP version it was very similar in bass vs tidal. one song had more pronounced bass on the LP version and another on the streaming version, but very very slight. Seems...

@chayro yes, good point, for sure it wouldnt be right away anyway. I would need to wait for a good condition/deal on a used xp15 anyway. Ill do some research, it could take many months. I just assumed that the pass labs xp15 is most likely a bette... 
Vinyl playback - lack of bass?
Thanks all, so this is what I am going to do based on what I have read here. 1. I need to do a better test. I think someone gave me an idea with Daft Punk. I might test 1 track from Random Access Memories and compare both digital vs LP. 2. I nee...

@bubba12 thanks, I kind of had a feeling about this as well.  
Vinyl playback - lack of bass?
ok, it might be potentially the source material. I think Ill need to find another song/album to compare with and play them one after the other to do an A/B test.  
Is it O.K. To Speculate Re: Company Stability Here?
You can yes, but you have to be careful. I wont comment on the others, but I will say, you have absolutely no proof or recollection of where you read about Simaudio Moon. To add to that, just because someone passed away, doesn't mean the company g... 
My Analog Journey - Opinions Sought
I agree with some of the comments here. Digital is great, but with the right setup and the right mastered record (or original etc) , its really tough to beat records.  
Moon 390 Network Streamer
@ddafoe Yes indeed! although, for the life of me, Im so curious to know and test what an xp22 would sound like in my room. Unfortunately, the only 1 store that sells pass labs here in my city, does not carry the speaker brand I own sadly.
