I bought some teaks used and they didn't come with stock pads. Can someone tell me which pads are stock or which ones I can get to have stock sound? Are they x00 pads or maybe d7000 pads?
Thanks

Thanks, I'll try those. I currently have dekoni sheepskins with junki's felt mod so I'll compare em to that setup. Also have Palo Santo cups so not very stock haha.The E-Mu Teaks and TX-X00 have the same stock pads.

It is most likely your amp. I don't know why so many people love that amp, but I couldn't stand it, it was so lean. That would be my guess anyway.Essentially I'm trying to identify why the bass and especially subbass doesn't sound as crazy as I think it should. My biggest concerns are pads, the Palo Santo cups (which are denser than ebony so further on that end than teak or mahagony) and maybe the amp I'm using (I've heard that the O2 is a little light in the bass dept, and it's much bassier off my speaker amp). Pads are a quick check so I'll do that first.
Any recommendations for an amp in the $100-200 range for these?It is most likely your amp. I don't know why so many people love that amp, but I couldn't stand it, it was so lean. That would be my guess anyway.
How about solid states? I don't know if I want to go tubes with my current setup...The Schiit Vali 2 sounds great with the Teaks... that falls right in your range. Get you a good tube and you will be set.
I have the Genalex Gold Lion in mine and I love it.

Stock x00 pads came in today. Little to no change in bass response, in fact everywhere else they sounded a little bit worse than Dekoni pads + ring + felt mod. Congrats to @junki for finding this combination and mod - sounds quite a bit better than stock.Hmm...for $100 possibly the Magni 3. For $200 a used MCTH is great and there are tubes that can bring the bottom end. If you really want a good SS solution for bass save up for a used Jotunheim or Gilmore Lite MK2.
Try to pad roll first. Cheapest option. If that doesn't work then sell the pads and save up for an amp. A good $250 - $400 amp will probably make the biggest difference. The Teaks really have great bass paired with a Jot or MK2.
