But seriously, we had great bass when analog was the only choice.

Borat, that is contrary to virtually everyone who has heard a quality TT/arm/cart setup.

Sure CD can reproduce a lower frequency, but bass is presented in a more natural manner on LP (even proponents of digital audio admit that). So if extension is how you rate bass, then yes, CD may have the edge, but if a more natural presentation---closer to the analog live experience--then LP has the advantage.

Don't want to see this thread be reduced to a CD vs. LP debate---that can happen elsewhere. The question here is to help out Mor2bz.

chris661---unless one has access to a capacitor bridge, it can be a little difficult to measure a cap. Replacing them en masse, can get a little expensive depending on what quality of caps are to be used.

VTF and VTA are easy to adjust, and are the "usual" culprits. If all possible adjustments have been made, then try a different phono stage. If there is an improvement, then perhaps consider a cap upgrade/change in the existing phono stage.
