Something missing?


I am enjoying my system immensely. But something I notice is when the material playing as cymbals crashing I don't get the life-like impression that I would like to have. One thing that comes to mind to explain this impression of something lacking is it is something the mbl's would display. Where do I look for the fault.
I am suspecting cables need to be revisited. The second place I would suspect is preamp.
But then it could be anything the cartridge phonostage maybe the arms tweeks need to removed?
Any suggestions?

perhaps getting a nice pair of quality horn speakers will satisfy you better in the dynamics and impact department! i would suggest a pair of jbl 4430 or 4435 to spice up your life! i know exactly what you are speaking of though i dont know much about the speakers you have i do know that horns do what you are asking. they give you "the you are there" presentation instead of the hifi presentation. the efficency of the horn makes all the difference!
I quite agree with Ditusa - a cymbal crash is intense and very loud in real life. Horns will do it. Intense transients from percussion is where most systems fail most noticeably. Even Piano (a percussive instrument) often sounds to soft. Change your cables if you like but I think Ditusa hit the nail on the head.
Please list your cables: speaker, interconnects, and power cords and where they are connected. Are you using a power conditioner and how is it used?
