Hi everyone.
My system is doing my head in and I need wisdom please from a member more knowledgable that I.
Sooooo a few years ago I listened to a video, totally by chance of a gentleman comparing a rega p1 to a rega p1 with an mp110 cart. I literally couldn’t believe the difference (add to that I was watching via you tube on an iPad). I really could hear the difference and a spark lit.
So to get started I went on a second hand hunt for equipment and ended up with the following:
New rega p2 with new mp110 cart
New schiit mani
Pm5005 amp
Cd5005
Mission 752 speakers
And some speaker wires that cost circa £150
I put this together just to dip my toe in the waters…..
I have read and read and read to understand hifi having no prior knowledge but there’s an issue with the system where one speaker sounds clean and airy and detailed whilst the other sounds narrow and lost with little detail.
So I tried all sorts, bi wiring, swapping speaker cables, omitting the pre amp etc etc.
I can swap the good sound for the bad sound by simply swapping L and R on the speaker wires and Land R on the amp so I figured speakers are ok. Pre amp or no pre amp doesn’t change a thing so preamp is not the problem. I figured either turntable or amp.
I’d like to fix the issue if someone could help point me in t(e right direction as the difference in the sound from L and R is doing my head I. lol.
So much so that I’ve put together an idea for a new system and ****** the current one:
Rega p6 with exact or mp110 (whatever it comes with and compare)
Elex-r
Rega fono mm
Wharfdale Linton
I like a sound that does not fatigue me. A sound I can lose myself in though I can’t articulate as well as some do on the forums. Sorry.
If you’ve read the above and got to this…… Thank you. I appreciate your time.
