Ok, had a friend bring over some NWA , technotronic, ice-t, and other bass heavy stuff on cd.
There me was an improvement in the bass dept as expected playing rap, techno. When I play regular rock, bass disappears, could it just be the recording, and the preamp is very revealing/neutral to the source material???????????? I'm so boggled still why this heavy hitter pre is so weak on the bass dept. everything else is great!
Ac/dc ball breaker does have a little tighter bass than other cd's, maybe it's just the recording? I have bass, but can't hear it that much from my couch about 8-9 feet away, whereas with onkyo preamp, I can get the China to jingle/clang on the shelves, and the window hanging stuff to rattle. With t he sanders, I only had some window shaking with the rap(which is good) but nothing else. I don't know if I should send It back for a look-see by the man who makes them, or live with it. I was recommended the Conrad Johnson et3, or the matching pre (McCormack ld-2).
