I finally have a place to setup my audio gear and just listen to it. This has allowed me to start going through the whole system and get things running/sounding as good as possible. My setup consists of:
Adcom 555 amp
Adcom GTP 500 preamp
Audio Technica at-120 turn table with vm-95e cartridge
C Note speaker (home built), begin replaced shortly with Elac DBR-62's and a sub
Topping EX5 DAC
Emotiva XPS-1 phone preamp
I also inherited a stack of albums from the 70's and which I have been going through. On several of these album and some that I already owned I can see the woofer driver on the speaker bouncing back and forth with a fairly large displacement even at low playing levels. The result does not seem to be very audible so I expect it is very low frequency. This never happens when the system is driven by the DAC. I tried 3 different phone preamps and they all do the same. If I turn on the low filter on the preamp the situation goes away. Any idea what is going on? I'm sure this is not something new but I never use to just sit and stare at the music in the past so it went unnoticed.
Thanks in advance
