Overhang, don`t blame the messenger for the message. I agree with Jfrech and Sbank. If you want to mask the sound buy a preamp with tone controls and cut back the treble from flat. I would suggest a good record cleaning machine though. Must have a vacuum system.Also a good TT and cartridge properly set up and aligned. $4K will buy a lot.
Which amp is better suited for LP playback?
Hello
I need advice about power amp sound.I listen mainly to lps and looking for a powerful solid state (200 watts at least) with a used price not more than 4K.I was thinking Levinson,Pass or Krell but i do not know how these amps will sound with records.I tried CJ 2500 and ARC D400mkII but they are so transparent that they bring surface noise with all clicks and pops into the music as well.I need something forgiving to mask Lp imperfections.Thanks for your advice.
