Musical Fidelity A5 CDP -bass problem

I have never heard a players bass create that much more weight after full break-in. Tighter, extended and more musical, but the weight issue is more to do with synergy of the system or the player is just plain bass lean which is not a bad thing for a lot of people. Your Rotel could be engineered to have a thicker bass than the A5 and the A5 could be more musical. If the player is bass lean and you want more then Hartwerger is right about changing power cords trying different vibration control devices. Of course ic's and speaker cables will always come into play.
If you can, let the player run 24/7 for a week then report back. I am betting on a tighter and more accurate bass.

Problems resolved: Learned alot: The dealer loaned me the MF integrated A5 amp they had in the showroom to try at home- what a world of difference! I have the sound that first brought me to the A5. The sound opened up, the fog lifted and the bass notes rather than rumbling became actual notes. The music is much more compelling, something I could not say playing it through the rotel set up. I paid a price for the lesson of thinking I could mix and match without researching first. I will keep both systems side by side, since I like having the rotel changer (I know, shame on me!) for when I need continuous party or dinner music and reserve using the MF for blissfull critical listening. thx for all the observations,and advice from this generous group.

enjoy!

So much for the mod fixing the problem!
