Changing the source or the amp won't have any effect on the bass.
If you want more bass you need bigger speakers, a subwoofer, or
equalization.

Recently had one of my SB3s upgraded (basic digital only) by Bolder
Cables so thought I'd share my experience. Rest of system is SB3
digital output to Lyngdorf DAC (part of TDA2200 amp) into Martin Logan
Prodigies. I'm UK based.
First off, and as I commented to the very helpful Wayne at Bolder,
It has already started. Have a look at the Arcam FMJ MS250 probebly
close to 5000 dollar. Here in the Netherlands it costs 4500 euro.

Denon AVR4306 when it first came out. I
Whenever Im listening to my Transporter I hear a very irritating tick
in the music when my fridge is switching on or off. The Fridge and my

The better the speakers the better they will let you hear the flaws up
stream of them. Yes I've listened to Gallo's they sounded great driven
with a Meridian front end and electronics.

If you feed the Transporter with a digital signal from your DVD nothing
happens. It will not decode AC3 or DTS. You can feed it a PCM stream
though available on some music DVD´s.
Don't know if my DVD player is peculiar (it's a cheap Cambridge Audio
model), but it is set up
You don't mention if the speakers are on stands. If not get a good pair
and see what difference that makes first.

In this case, the AE is just a transport I think. Perhaps a better

That is actually a darn good question. A DAC that has all sorts of

Could be Bruno. Could be some other guys at some other company as well.

I haven't built this but I looked at what is published on Welborne's
site. It looks like the entire psu including transformer is mounted on
the circuit board which is isolated from the aluminum enclosure. Do you
have the safety earth pin of the IEC connector referenced to the
aluminum chassis?
Welborn does ship a grounded AC plug/cable but doesn't use the ground.
They actually state in the directions to trim it back to the strain
relief and use only the HOT and NEUTRAL wires.
I'll attempt connecting the chassis to the gnd of the +5 output to see
if that helps.
