[QUOTE="u235, post: 1110102, member: 1485"] A forum member, the late Chris Templer, was addicted to huge orchestral music, and more particularly, pieces that included massive pipe organs that could play down to 12Hz. He spent some 40 years of experimentation, looking for the best reproduction of this sound. His last interaction with a turntable included a pair of horn speakers to his own design that stood 3m high and weighed 1/2 ton apiece, a Tact amplifier, a six metre tube subwoofer with multiple 18 inch drivers and an EMT 948 broadcast turntable. His conclusion was that the LP was the weak point as it couldn't physically manage the dynamic range or the information density of the music he liked, and he got rid of ALL his vinyls (thousands) and the EMT. He converted to fully digital source (but strangely also played with top end tape decks for some analog warmth.) I've never known anyone who has put that amount of effort into his sound, and he had an excellent ear too. Maybe other members who heard his system have a different view, but personally I believe that his abandoning analogue in favour of digital with maybe the most difficult material available, speaks a lot to your problem.
