Mine feeds into Bryston 7B STs and there is no lack of bass. I have Amperex Bugle Boys in the line stage, but don't believe they have any effect on the bass, at least to my ear. Wait until your ears "break-in" with the combo you have. In a week or two it will sound like other pres simply have too much bass. Who is it who said that humans are animals that can adapt to anything?
Audio Research LS-25 MK1 Owners
Hello,
I've just switched from an LS-3 to the LS-25 mk1. I enjoy the increased detail, transparency, etc., however the bass seems so weak by comparison. Interestingly, the bass is more detailed (delineated?) but just seems thin on some of my favorite recordings. I've switched to an aftermarket power cord with some improvement. Is this endemic to tubes vs. solid state or are there things that I could be doing that I've missed? Cryoed tubes perhaps? PS Audio P300 conditioner? Thanks in advance for any suggestions.
