Newbee, I respect your opinions - and am not claiming that a cable-swap is the prescription here - but I think your post misses the point even as it implicitly acknowledges it: Yes, it is true that speaker cables cannot actively 'increase' bass level or extension, but they can certainly *decrease* it, which absolutely means that, depending on the partnering amp and speakers, a cable swap can definitely change (including improve) what you hear in terms of extension and weight - as well as tonality, transient response, and dynamic expression, same as any other part of the frequency range. (This is something I have heard, and it would surprise me if you were to tell me you have not, so maybe I'm misinterpreting your post...)
Thanks to all replying to cd sounding like LP.
I should of written that I have a tube preamp, a Audio Research SP9MKll, a Hafler DH500/Xl600 amp, use either depending on the mood. I also have 2 different sets of klipsch speakers. So the horns are more than like the culprit on my cd play back. I really like the speakers though. I will keep my cd player, replace the inner connects, maybe pick up a DAC. Can anyone recommend a nice speaker wire that might actually increase bass response?
I do want to thank each of you that replied to my previous question.
This web site is GREAT!!
