Audio Asylum has the best discussions I've ever read on turntable setup in the FAQ section. My LP12 has bass that is more defined than my CDP has. Here's the link. Pay particular attention to Jon Risch's post regarding SRA. It's just another, and better way of looking at VTA. The thread title is "VTA once and for all!".
Bass Question - should LP range be so different?
I listen to both LP's and CD's. I've noticed, as this is a fairly new setup for me, that the bass is fuller and more balanced with the mids and highs when using my Sony SCD777ES with both redbook an SACD then when I use my Linn Sondek LP12 with Ittok LVII tonearm and Arkiv cartridge feeding into a Verion MKI Phono preamp. The bass through the Linn side seems to lack a rich sonic texture.
The setup beyond these components are a Space-Tech QA-115 full balanced tube per-amp, and a VP-105 50Wrms push-pull tube power amplifier. The speakers are Totem Winds.
I would appreciate any suggestions as to how to boost the bass on the LP side. I also wonder if it is the recordings themselves?
Thank you!
