Fine tuning the system. Where do you start and how do you proceed ?


It sounds good and yet..

Leaving wall current alone - it’s a separate big problem. Leaving the room alone too.

Do you begin by seeking out best LP pressings ? Or tube rolling ? Or cables and power cords comparisons ? Isolation devices perhaps ? Something else ?

How do you go about it ?

I tend to start from the beginning - LP pressings.

op you start at looking at the systems weakest link

to maximize your system you need:

a good power conditioner good power cables

vibration isolation 

room tuning 

performance tweaks

@inna ...Now digest all of the personally pertinent parts of the above...

And go have fun following your muse... ;)

 

Tuning and fine tuning with tubes is a great way to improve the sound or simply to make it slightly different. It can be like putting different strings on the same acoustic guitar.

Playing with isolation/resonance control devices could be fun, but I don't have energy and funds to approach it seriously. This would require tremendous work to find the overall best solution.

When doing fine tuning it would be wrong to dissect the sound. This is the final polishing, the sound is already excellent.

 

 

 

The system will only sound as good as the room allows.  Otherwise you are putting Turtle Wax on a car that only has primer and no paint on it.
