Re: Not to my ears

Lean would be an accurate description, or thin. I have switched back this afternoon and it was not my imagination. The instruments and voices are much more distinct in my non-digital set-up. With the Panasonic the impression is of a wall of thin sound where it is more difficult to separate voices from instruments. With my tube pre-amp and SS amplifier each string pluck is distinct, clear and floats in the air. The singers are in the room with me.

For me, the tube pre-amp justs adds a magical quality to the music. Probably for the Magnepans the 100 watts at 6 ohms is not enough power either. The music seems compressed.
