Okay,

So perhaps "worse" was the wrong word.

I was just comparing the two systems and I do like to hear a lot of bass in my music (mostly dancey stuff). I noticed that the new install didn't have as much bass as I'm used to.

You're right that recoding the MP3's won't change, but I can notice the difference between CD and 128 fixed on thie new setup, so I'm going for the VBR from AudioCatalyst, which sounds a lot better (on the level above medium, whatever that's called).

I'll try playing around with the EQ settings, but I can't change the gain on the amp (see Dominic's post on why) so I'll have to stick to this.

I'd already boosted the 2 lowest frequencies to the max which is a bit better, but I'll go for dropping some of the others as well, and see what I get.

Failing that, I'll have to invest in a sub......

I've taken the pictures this morning, so hopefully I'll get them developed tomorrow (Thursday 8th June) and scanned in over the weekend...

Then all I've got to do is find somewhere to post them too!

Cheers,

Paul.
