@newbee you said it right out of my mind and I couldn’t have said it better. Yes, i love the vintage tube sound of warm and low soft bass response from vintage MAC1500 but i needed more details. I thought this ARC equipments would give me that sound im seeking for but its so flat and no bass. I can understand these equipments are not colored or has any tone control but i feel that the bass should be a little more fuller. The sound doesn’t feel full like it should coming from a floor stand speakers. I compared the ARC sound with the 2 Devialet Gold Phantom speakers and the ARC has about 50% less bass. The gold phantom has good soft bass response i want but it doesn’t has the holographic sounds and details like from the tube amp system. My goal is to have both in this system but i guess the r900 and Arc don’t work synergistically...?
Just right now, i used another old 80s preamp from Sony and the sound is boomy boost of full bass and tone control was on neutral (imagine if i crank that bass up). So this confirmed the vt100 is working and my LS15 preamp is not giving that sound. Perhaps because of the faulty V3 tube? I already ordered the new tube on the way. I’m hoping replacing this faulty tube will fix my bass response problem.
You guys has been so helpful and awesome... Thank you so much.
