Hi guys,
Looking for a little help, or advice on what I should do, I like listening to Vinyl on classic solid state gear, but I don't have the room to have 2 separate systems in my lounge room where I do most of my listening, and the AV receiver has to stay, so the old Pioneer SA-508 and Marantz speakers get the flick.
Problem! Vinyl on the Yamaha RXV3900 sounds like I'm under water, it's flat, it lacks base, it lacks treble, it lacks everything I love about vinyl and amplifies everything I hate about it!
I have room for a preamp so tried running the SA-508 as a preamp via the Phones output on the front, but the Yamaha didn't like that, it sounded great! but the Yamaha cracked it and shut down into overload protection mode, so I'm guessing it was not a good idea to try?
so to re-cap
Looking for better sounding vinyl using a my Yamaha RXV3900, possibly preamp needed?
what would be the best solution for me?
