Musical Fidelity A5 CDP -bass problem

Are you driving the 1080 directly from A5(I doubt it) if not what is the preamp? From what I can tell, 1080 amp is pretty efficient with 1.5v 32kOhm input.

A5 specs:
2.15VRMS o-put 47 Ohms impedance

Something is wrong here, in your set up. Please specify the preamp.

Thanks for taking an interest- I am using the Rotel RC 1070 pre amp. Not to say I dont get any bass- It is just not as "robust" as from the Rotel CD player 1055. Must just be an over emphasis from the rotel changer

I'm assuming that the A5 player is not new and doesn't need break in. Also, what you may want to do is take your A5 and go to a local MF dealer and have them play it in their demo system so you can evaluate it, if this is possible, of course. Have you also tried any aftermarket power cords with the player, the amp or preamp?

I really can't imagine the A5 producing less bass impact than a Rotel cd changer. Rotel players are pretty good, but in my mind, the perfomance of the Rotel cd player is not very close to that of the A5. But may be it's just me.

Audphile, that was great advice! Well, the player is 2 weeks "new" so the break in is an issue. I will bring it in to the dealer to hear it with the set up I auditioned with and ask him to let me audition some wire at home. Thanks- I will let you know how it goes!

ok, I'll be waiting
