Such Great help before. Maybe some more help now


Hello,

Currently running Luxman L507z integrated amp, Luxman D07-x SACD/DAC, HiFi  Rose RS 130 streamer and Technics SL-1300G turntable. Got really good advice on turntable and cartridge. I am running Klipsch Cornwall IVs in this system. They sound great at low levels or rockin out. These are unaltered. No GR research stuff etc. Am I doing my system justice ? I listen to Jazz, classic rock, celtic/norse folk pretty much anything really. What do you think?

Thank you! So many what appear to be minor tweaks with possible major impacts. Sounds like an interesting road to go down!

I supplement my Forte IV's with a REL S/510 (driven by Luxman class A).  One of the best extra investments I ever made; seamless sound and disappears as a separate sound source, once properly set up (and that part was easy).

If you like the speakers, as I did, the greatest positive change would come from three things:

1. Room treatment. This is the biggest lever, potentially, but also involves the greatest cost and trouble. But it's 50% of the sound. Lots of help out there.

2. Vibration control over the speakers. Something like a Townshend platform. I have used these with a variety of different speakers and the difference is very noticeable -- defeated my skepticism. I was willing to ship them back for a refund but they made an undeniable positive difference. More than cable changes or tube changes or almost anything else.

3. At least one good subwoofer, possibly more, carefully placed and tuned in to your current speakers. Not a cheap or easy enterprise to do correctly but it is magic once it clicks in.

OP and Others: Show Us Your Listening Space/System/Equipment.

Once you try and then figure it out, putting a Virtual System, uploading photos on this site, is easy, it would let other's see your listening space, saves a million words trying to convey ....... and it is then easy to copy the address of any image there and post in a conversation, which is my main reason for creating all this

my virtual systems make it easy to understand, give/get advice, share ....
