New preamp, loss of low freq.?
I will be getting new cables, I called klaus at odyssey with money ready to spend, he said not til 1 week from now, he's going on holiday. Son of a ........I get ready and now I have to wait longer. My 1m pair are stretched very tightly from amp t... 
New preamp, loss of low freq.?
I will hook up my onkyo eq-540 equalizer, keep everything at 0 and just lightly boost the lower freq, just a little bit.  Hate using an equalizer, but I don't have a choice, the sound I'm getting from the preamp is remarkable to say the least. Mid... 
New preamp, loss of low freq.?
I always had all buttons off!, no contra bass was ever used.  Even with all the extras off, I had more boomy bottom end with onkyo.   Strange.  Will output put volts have something to do w it? Sanders is only 10 volts.  Onkyo and B&K were min ...

As far as the missing bass.   I am using audioquest Quartz cables from 1991 or a1990, I'm sure things have changed since then. I will mess around with cables, and speaker wires also.   Hopefully I can get back a small portion of my low end, then a...

Georgelofi; prior to the sanders I was using an onkyo p-308 from 1989. Also, a B&K pro 10 mc.   The onkyo is adding low freq, the B&K is closer in sound to the sanders I think,.............will ill try to breathe, promise, I've just had su... 
New preamp, loss of low freq.?
The preamp is just very accurate, neutral sounding.  What I put in is what is going out, nothing more, nothing less, with the onkyo, it was boosting the low freq, per the specs. I guess I am not used to a neutral sound, reproducing exactly what is... 
New preamp, loss of low freq.?
I suppose if I knew these amps were hard to drive, I would have bought others which are more compatible ,  so I'm stuck, and blew my whole fuc**ing rat hole money which I saved for almost 5   Damn years for new amps, stereo, and I end up buying so... 
New preamp, loss of low freq.?
The preamp does not have any capacitor in the output circuit. It has a very low output impedance of only 50 ohms, so it will drive an amplifier of extremely low impedance without any problems. What this means is that the preamplifier is not roll...

I do have bass, it just isnt as thick as before this preamp. Definitely some is gone. Anything else i can do 
New preamp, loss of low freq.?
So should i return the pre, look for a pre which is more compatable with my amp?  The pre is quite nice, it definitely opens up my speakers quite a lot,! 
New preamp, loss of low freq.?
Made by Conrad Johnson, does it have to do with impedances of tube preamps, or ones that CJ makes? 
New preamp, loss of low freq.?
Yes, inquiring minds want to know............ 
New preamp, loss of low freq.?
Georgelofi;Amp 10kohm, this could be the problem if your preamp is capacitor coupled on it’s output. As if the preamp’s output cap (if it has one), the size of it could have been calculated for a more normal (industry standard) >47kohm input im...
