Sutherland LPS making sound thin?

Recently picked up a new LPS for my 20/20. Wasn’t sure what to expect the LPS to add/subtract from the sound but it seems like the background is quieter. It also seems like the mids and midbass is a little thinner.

 

curious if this is the sound or maybe it needs more hours on it or…?

 

id like to hear about experiences adding a LPS to an existing 20/20.

@audphile1  thanks I will definitely do that. I also went ahead and changed the cart load to 475ohms which, with the LPS sounds better.

I have the 20/20.  Forgive my ignorance. What’s an LPS?

@gochurchgo Nice! Do revisit the settings after the break in. For me, while my 20/20 with LPS was going thru break in, 100ohm sounded best. However after the break in, 200ohm is where I’m at and prefer it to 100ohm (thanks to @rvpiano for posting his thoughts on switching from 100ohm to 200ohm which encouraged me to revisit the settings). We both use Hana ML though.
