It's a decent amp. Doesn't seem like the weakest thing in the system to
me. If you haven't heard a really good, music-oriented (as opposed to
home-theater-oriented) sub, I think you'll probably be pretty amazed
when you hear one.
I used to have triangle celius
I usually agree with tomjtx, but not this time. If what you want is
better bass, why not get a good subwoofer? Short of getting (probably
pretty pricey) full-range speakers, this would seem your best option.
That will affect the sound a _lot_ more than a dac would. You could
probably get a used
It all starts at the source. The lower end that you're now missing can
never really be returned by the downstream components.
Either get a good DAC or have the SB3 modded, including a good power
supply. I think the DAC would be the surer bet - certainly easier to
change again if it doesn't
I don't agree here. The OP seems to have a frequency response issue, and
didn't like his original bass all that much. A new dac is _not_ going to
make cheapish speakers suddenly able to give good bass. Simply won't
happen. A good sub will, and if it's a really good one like the rel, it
can stay

I understand that my cd player was always renowned for have a rich
tonal balance and the amp is much more neutral in it's response. I was
thinking/hoping you would suggest changing the
Perceived bass extension can be improved with a good linear regulated
power supply. Further results are greater spaciousness and
naturalness. There are those that disagree, sometimes based on
experience, sometimes on ignorance and/or scepticism. But for some of
us the effect is obvious - I am

Actually , totoro, I could agree with you as well.
I agree with everyone. As Jim mentioned it's source first. He liked the
speakers with the old source, but the Sb3 sounds different. Maybe the
old source warmed the low end, or the Sb3 deals with bass transients
better
