New preamp, loss of low freq.?


Hooked up new preamp, and I lost what I think is some low freq slam. Reasoning behind this?
i have been rewarded with the best cleanest, accurate midrange/highs I have ever heard, but did lose some low frequencies.      Normal?  

Sanders preamplifier is the new addition. 

Should i I hook up my equalizer to  smooth out, and add some low freq. 

it it is recording dependent, I still feel I lost some bass when sanders is in the mix. 

Not complaining, this has completely opened up my energy rc-70's, I have never heard these sound so loud, so clear before.   It's I feel I lost a few octaves in the lower register. 

Better? Leave it, I can definitely get used to this sound, as before it was a small bit boomy, maybe I just need time to adjust, and to let the pre warm up for a couple weeks. 

thoughts, recommendations, tweaks? I suppose I could move the speakers a little closer to the wall, this may add a little more bass.

If the preamp is brand new I would give it some time to break in, about 150 hours, before you make any determination.
You were running out the 1/8" headphone jack?

Yes, the connector bypasses that and the sound should be a lot better, no duh!
This is a really good example of how the MP-3 is killing music :) People think that the bass out of an MP-3 player is how it should be, and it just isn't.

High End audio isn't all bells and whistles generously polished with snake oil... The fact of the matter is that you can hear more with good high end equipment and the problems with mid- or lo- fi suddenly become really obvious!
