Not much that folks can comment on without more particulars about your system.
Recommend you do nothing for 2-3 weeks except play your new amp, using both turntable and CD source pathways. Then evaluate again.
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")

You often read about members with the same experience. People were just planning on upgrading one piece of equipment but inevitably the dominos keep falling and half a system ends up being replaced in order to again achieve a sense of system symbiosis.

@jetter I guess I have to "face the music"! @sandstone Since my options and budget is limited, but above all, my audio knowledge is very limited, I first wanted to get a high level advice. I used to think of myself as a speaker guy (spend 5 times more on speakers than the amp for the best result) and I realize I was wrong. I am going to research what goes best with Musical Fidelity integrated amps. |
