Newbie..TT question

I just bought my first TT. A mmf-5. It seems to play everything kind of "bright" compared to the same music on cd. Plus I barely have the volume control turned up. I'm running it through a CJ PV10B, I only had about a month. Could it be the tubes? It just seems like I hear the speakers more, and less of a soundstage. help.

Have you fiddled with the VTA yet. Improper VTA could cause thinness/brightness.

Make sure you are using the correct type of phono stage for the cartridge you are using. A moving coil preamp with a moving magnet cartridge will have too much gain. Also, if you are using an outboard phono stage, don't use the phono input on your preamp.
