Tweaks for systems, rooms and Do It Yourself (DIY) help. FAQ.

Guys, I'm surprised at you!

I don't understand why you would not encourage the poster to properly treat his room before assuming that his equipment and/or vibration is the source of the excess bass. What if the previous 'table was bass-shy and that effect was masked by the room?

I would say he really needs to make sure his room is reasonably neutral before he actually knows what his gear really sounds like. Given the context of his post, it seems his room response is a big variable at this time - it may be reasonable, it may be poor, but it is currently unknown. A couple tube traps in the front corners of the roon will certainly do no harm.

I won't argue that implementing vibration management is never a mistake and something everyone should take advantage of. I'm sure you guys wouldn't argue that no amount of vibration management or component upgrades will effectively solve a room response problem.

Cheers,
Pete
