A tube phono stage is the best place to start. That’s where the rubber meets the road! BTW, that Denon has a conical stylus and some say it is boring!
Tube or solid state
My gear:1. Once Analog TT, made here in Aust, with "the wand tonearm" , made in NZ
2. JLTI solid state, a copy from switzeland, made in Aust, from the maker in Switzerland, that has moved back to Aust!!, the have spare RCA Plugs, to load cartridge, I running a Zu?Dennon 103, loading is 300 ohms, any thing bellow this is a boring sound, I have one plug at 300 ohms, in the red socket, and a plug at 220 in the black socket, because I'm trying to shave of some over all harshness, some albums sound great, but overall, I wish to keep the "great bass"!!, and slam, why am I having trouble??
3. PS Audio Pre/Dac pre amp!!4. Channel islands mono blocks, (awesome bass and control), probable the best competent I've bought!!5. Pair of Zu Souls, MK 11Friends, I wish to know where I have gone wrong??To get rid of the edge, and still have great bass, with balls, and slam what should I do??Replace the PS Audio Pre?Dac preamp SS, for a tube unit??, or replace my SS phono stage with a tube unit??Friends I live down on the far south coast, of Australia!!The nearest audio shop, is 4 hours away??To make things worse My Zu cartridge, needs replacing, very soon!!Friends can you get together and solve the above??Many ThanksDavidAust
