Trying out different headphone amplifiers, one in particular I know can hold a strong bass line. But, not from my turntable!I actually now have a smaller, but sweeter sounding headphone amplifier after the phono stage.
I'm happy with the arrangement but got me to thinking that the bass line is not very prominent coming from the turntable.
It is a Rega Planar 3 with a Benz ACE and an enhanced Lehmann Black Cube phono stage. So, do I put the blame on the turntable OR the phono stage? My thinking is the turntable (motor, bearing, etc). I've been happy with it, but I guess that's what seems to be lacking the most right now.
