High end sound


So I'm gonna get to the point. My system sounds kind of flat and dull

It doesn't seem to have crisp tight sound it all. It should sound much better. I think than it does. I'm wondering if it's the old speaker cables and interconnects and I have a old vintage phono cartridge it just seems like it's kind of dead sounding...Vpi classic

Generally speaking, it’s common for amp capacitors to eventually wear out and thus need replacement. At 20yrs plus it’s not surprising if your amp needs servicing.

Also, the sonic quality of SS amps has significantly improved over the years at various budget levels, and there’s a high rise in GanFet amps. So it’s may be better to change/upgrade than to refresh your amp.

+1 @hilde45 - make sure your room acoustics are sorted out

 

Can you post the sound (or video) link of your system? This reminds me a blind men and an elephant story. Alex/Wavetouch audio

Hate to be a downer but have you had your hearing checked lately? Our ears don't get better with age.
