everything sounded great until the upgrade
In short: I loved the sound of my modest system, until I upgraded my amp. Now it sounds pretty horrible. It went from a warm sweet embracing easy-to-listen sound to knives and forks trying to escape from a bathtub.
So...
1. I can just unplug this new amp (used) and sell it
Any other options? I could upgrade my speakers but I have no budget for that.
2. I could sell the speakers and use money to buy used ones that go with the amp.
3. Lastly I could change the source, but was it the culprit - to begin with?
btw - the sound of the "new" amp is decent with my turntable, and terrible with my CD player.
(If I wrote brands and models it would throw the discussion into "A sucks, B is great")
@grislybutter ....sounds like what my gear sounds like to me after I've been away for an extended period, exposed to all manner of audio trivia....*G* Hang tough, get through a reasonable break-in, and then decide what and where to go with it. New equipment can startle with the differences they exhibit. Remember: Change is a b*tch. ;) |
@cat_doorman what did you upgrade to? @asvjerry I am OK with change - it's my ears that aren't :) |
@grislybutter , *sigh* Down with that, too. If it wasn't for my aids, I miss a lot. Looking at a new pair of headcans, and thankful that eq is a way of life.... Mine, at least. *L* |
