Hello
I have questions about how to get the best sound from my Compasses.
I very recently bought a new Dynavector XX2mk2 cartridge and so far put about 16.5 hours on it.
It has a much deeper bass sound than my previous DV20x2L.
However, I am now getting a bit of room resonance and a bit of boomy bass. I did have my speakers straight on the carpet, but we have quite thick underlay and carpet, which means there was no real gap around the base of the speakers to allow the sound out of the lower chambers. I have now placed the speakers on top of some granite plinths that I had. This seems to tighten the bass a little bit, but still boomy, but I also realised that the speakers "rock" a bit due to uneven feet. So, I added some ordinary felt washers, the ones used for furniture onto hard floors. This has much improved the bass sound, but it is still very deep and resonates through the house more than it used to!
Does anyone know if there is a better way to isolate the speakers to sharpen the bass and maybe lower the sound through the house?
The granite plinths are just placed on top of the carpet, so they are not that stable.
Anyone with any good ideas?
