Hi all. I'm bummin out. My ML Ascents sound terrible. They scream at me in the midrange. I have an ARC VT100 MKIII Amp and an ARC LS15 preamp.
The only thing that sounds half way decent now is my FM (because it is toned down).
I am using MIT speaker cables. I've tried moving the speakers. Going from 4 to 8 ohm to the amp. And Gasp! even disconnected the MIT cables and gone with zip wire. (not much difference actually). My next step is to go to SE from balanced but I suspect there is something major wrong here. It sounds the same on both speakers. The best way I can describe it is loss of detail on complex music and an almost ear bleeding midrange.
I'm going to retube the preamp tommorow.
My question is this. Do i need some cables such as Transparent Audio's?
What kind of cables do you all use?
Help I'm desperate.
Thanks
