Where s the bass?

My system - Sony CD player, Pass Labs X0 preamp & X600 amps, Thiel 7.2 and Transparent Reference cables. I believe the sound is open, transparent, and dynamics. However I just wish I could put an emphasis on the bottom end. Tone controls are not available on high quality Class A preamps, such as the X0. While I understand that adding one more component in the signal paths is not desirable as it will further degrade the sound, I would like to hear your opinions on the best way to boost the bottom end. Thank you.

The pass stuff has great bass and slam, the one weak link i,d say is the sony.

I think its kind of funny how Tai spends $20.000.plus on amp and pre. Then 500 on a sony.The pass stuff well show what that sony lacks right away.Or any $20.000 rig well do the same..
I stated the one weak link is the sony..Its not a put down to Tai,the question was asked and i gave a response..Someone thinks thats worth -2 0 on rate this post
You mean to tell me no one else thinks a $500 sony cd is a mismatch on a rig like that..get a life
Tai see if you can audition a $3-4000 cd system and then see
if your bass improves
