PS Audio BHK lacking..

I bought a used PS Audio BHK preamp to replace my Rotel. It sounds thin with no depth & bass compared to my Rotel so I let it run for over an hour with no change. I'm new to tubes so I'm looking for ideas. New tubes or what?

They showed up a little while ago. I have them in now & they made a big big difference. It's starting to happen. I'm looking forward to trying some of the tubes you guys mentioned.

Easier to recommend tubes knowing what you like....warmth, speed, soundstage, strong bass, lots of air, treble sparkle, etc...
