A frontloader story

tianguis,

I use a Cambridge Audio Azur 640C- a frontloader. In my office, the equipment is on a low wood table that is dense but also fairly close to the speakers and in front to one side. More for reasons of shelf space than anything else, I set my Peavey VMP-2 microphone preamp- it's a heavy tube unit- perhaps 12 lbs- on top of the 640C and the bass and general detail is improved. The effect was so obvious, I tried a similar experiment with a Toshiba 3690 but not with the Peavey- which would crush the flyweight Toshiba. I used several 3X3X1" squares of grantite samples and for the 3690 there was a greater proportion improvement.

Probably, these weights on the players are providing a vibration damping and in my less than ideal placement of the gear, the damping effect is improving the resolution.


Cheers,

Bambi B
