Does Every Track Sound Great on Your System?

@12many   Can anyone listen to the first 20 second of the song Temptation by Diana Krall from the Girl In The Other Room album and let me know if there is a bass component that is a bit much? The vocals sound good so no issue there.

As requested, I’m listening to track 3 “Temptation” right now. The upright base is in perfect balance with the rest of the music. Very taunt with no overhang. If you’re running full range speaker, you may consider pulling them out from your walls as others had suggested. If it’s subwoofer/satellite combo, you need to dial down your subs. But if your speakers have a one note problem, then you need better speakers. But try above suggestions first.

Just my humble suggestions.

Pretty much yes! I have yet to hear something sounding bad.

OP,  Can you live record the song with your system and upload? Alex/WTA

Does Every Track Sound Great on Your System? No because some recordings are poor. And some are fantastic. 

Bass balance can be a real problem when you have a subwoofer. The best solution is to get a Schiit preamp with continuosly variable volume, not incremental or push buttons. The Jotunheim has a nice big volume knob that makes this easier. If you don’t want to spend $400, their $200 preamp will work just as well minus the larger knob. both preamps have RCA to XLR capability. Run a cable from the sub out to your listening spot and run a cable back to the input to your sub amp. Set your sub amp so the 12 oclock setting on your preamp would be like your regular subwoofer setting. Every tune needs its own setting, one setting is never right for everything. With most things, from here you can get nice bass balance with small tweaks. This is my secret weapon. It takes listening and practice, but you won’t be stuck with settings that don’t work most of the time.
