You never stated the name of the new amp, the old amp and your system.
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 now with your more revealing amplifier in play, and sources in review by you, one other thought will drive some silly. I will ask anyhow. Its likely I missed it, and apologize if so... What interconnect RCA cables are you using now (brand/model/length) between your phono or CD player to your A3.2 integrated today? |
overall feedback processing notes: just like with anything: learning a little reveals how little I knew and how much I thought I knew! Some of the advices are scary, I should not remove the cover and tweak this thing, that never ended well for me. (As a kid I took apart a lot of alarm clocks, none I was able to put back together, (I am a theoretical guy)
@decooney absolutely! You know me by now. My current RCA is crap, something that came 15 years ago with a $20 cd player. I ordered a cable from Amazon last night for $35, I was too embarrassed to ask here. May suck but will still be better than these. @asvjerry I started it, @dadork is the second in line to be visited by the FBI with a warrant.in case of an incident @mofojo first time I heard pink noise :) @clearthinker right! It’s used, no returns, brother’s advice that I always trust. Little prick.... he got me! |
my little prick brother got back to me, he is just probably reading the forum, He says:
Update: CD input IS crap, aux1 is times better
