| Which component to upgrade to improve bass control? @elliotnewcombjr:Silverline is within driving distance, so I could take them over to Alan and have him listen to them. Hadn't thought of that option. I bought the speakers used from a guy who'd tried them in his recording studio for just a few hou... | |
| Which component to upgrade to improve bass control? @gosta:Thanks. Yes-- I'm beginning to suspect DSP may be the only solution, in my case. @pacoinmass: What you suggest sounds fairly technical but I could possibly get a friend to help. @ elliottbnewcombjr:No-- I haven't spoken with Alun Yun. I've... | |
| Which component to upgrade to improve bass control? @gormdane:Thanks for your input. Unfortunately, I don't have much flexability in shifting my listening chair laterally. I have tried moving chair forwards and back and have not noticed any difference. I guess that suggests my listening chair is in... | |
| Which component to upgrade to improve bass control? @hilde45:"The proposal by hshifi — a better preamp, DAC, plus power conditioner, power cords, and a ground master — sound like throwing quite a lot of money at a much more fundamental problem. I'd bet an amount equal to their full cost that they w... | |
| Which component to upgrade to improve bass control? @hshifi:Not sure why you say "besides the obvious of a better pre-amp and DAC". Care to share your rationale for these assertions? Noone lese in this thread has suggested a different DAC would offer more controlled bass. I've tried power conditi... | |
| Which component to upgrade to improve bass control? @sandthemall:Thanks. I will apply your suggestions to the extent that I can. BTW, I have noticed no worsening of SQ when cranking volume. In fact, it's easy to get carried away and end up listening louder than is healthy for my ears. And, the soun... | |
| Which component to upgrade to improve bass control? @cakyol:Please see #3 under response to duckworp. | |
| Which component to upgrade to improve bass control? @duckworp:1) Yes, I could. It quickly gets expensive shipping back and forth across the country, though. I went through this routine when shopping for a high-end acoustic guitar last spring and guitars weigh a lot less than a pair of speakers! 2)... | |
| Which component to upgrade to improve bass control? @tvad:He might but as I know I can't afford to buy a new amp from him, it doesn't seem quite ethical to ask him. I once explained up front to a speaker manufacturer that I couldn't afford to buy new but would like to hear his speaker. He agreed an... | |
| Which component to upgrade to improve bass control? @tomic601:Thanks for your generous offer. Unfortunately, there's not a practical option for relocating amp at present. @tvad:Yes-- I found ads for both the Pass and the Coda for sale, used. As it happens, Coda is located an hour's drive from me,... | |
| Which component to upgrade to improve bass control? @oldhvymech:Don't have subs. Sand-filled Target stands sit on heavy cement pavers on wood floor with Herbies Gliders between bottom plates of stands and pavers. My system is very-less-than-ideally-located in livingroom. I put the pavers under the ... | |
| Which component to upgrade to improve bass control? Thanks for all the comments.@tvad:The review comparing Pass Labs to Coda would incline me more towards Coda. Needless to say, reviews are no guarantee of satisfaction! Thanks for clarifying Sistrum possibilities. @fuzztone:Please re-read original ... | |
| Which component to upgrade to improve bass control? @tvad:This review of the Coda makes it sound very appealing, especially given that reviewer prefer warmer sounding gear, as I do. http://v2.stereotimes.com/post/coda-csib-integrated-by-richard-willie/ | |
| Which component to upgrade to improve bass control? @tvad:I checked out the Sistrums and am not sure how they'd work with stand-mounts. |
