Hi,
I just got back from this audio store near my place with an MG Head DT! This amp rocks! I was amazed by the clarity and sound reproduction on Etymotic 4S when I auditioned for the amp at the store. I bought the amp right away but they didn't have any in stock but they lent me their demo amp first until the new shipment comes.
When I got back with the demo MG Head DT I pluggged it with my cd player and I listened. The results this time are far from what I heard in the store. In fact I find the music now more distant and not as upfront as I heard in the store.
Any idea why this might be so?
Here's the store's setup:
Rega Jupiter CDP
Cardas Power Cord
Kimber Kable Silver Streak Interconnects
Lightspeed power conditioner.
Here's my setup:
Arcam Alpha 9 CDP
Normal Power Cord (as supplied)
DH Lab Silver Sonics BL-1 0.5m
Surge Protector (<-- Power Source)
What might I be able to do to regain the former sonic reproduction I encountered when I was auditioning the amp? Would a Blue Circle BC-86 Noise Hound improve the sound? Better Interconnects? Please Help
Sincerely
Jason
