Hi there,
I am looking for some information/advice on an alternative cd player to regain the fine bass detail that a system i once had could (before going down the A V rout) retrieve, after i suposeably upgraded recently.
Previous system (Bi-amped)
Marantz cd 63 K I signature
Arcam Alpha 7 intragrated amp
Arcam Alpha 8 power amp
B & W 601 s1 speakers
Reasonable cables and interconects totaling aprox £300
Present system (Bi-amped)
Marantz cd 63 K I signature
Arcam F M J A19 intragated amp
Arcam Alpha 10 power amp
B & W 684 s2 speakers
Same cables and interconects
The problem i have is that this system although costing considerably more than the previous one just cannot retrieve delicate base detail in the same way as the old system could to the point that on some songs theese delicate bass notes are not just reduced they are totaly missing. I suspect that it is the speakers but i am very reluctant to change theese as higher frequency and vocal detail is fantastic. So i am hoping there is a cd player (old or new) that could retrieve the missing bass without forsaking the higher detail.
So if anyone has any experiance along theese lines and can offer any advice or sujestions, i would be extremely greatfull.
Cheers Adrian
