Poor BASS with Dynavector XX2 +Sunilda + AudioNote

I recently bought a complete analogue set: Dynavector XX2 + DPS table with Reha RB300 arm + Prephono MM/MC Sunila (from Audio Valve). All of that connected to my Audio Note.
Tje results is fine (open, smooth, clear, depth ..) but lack of bass!! No sure if it is the prephono (I will change the 12AX7 by some NOS) or if is a mismatch between the cartridge and the arm ..

Any suggestion ?? Many thanks

Last week end, I have checked ... and hourra I founded the hole to tweak my VTA .. And the results was GREAT!! more basses and the sound still warm and charming !!!

I also tried with a prepre Acuphase C7 ... and it was even better !!! It means more basses, more volume .......

I will continue my investigations ... and update you later on !!!

MANY THANKS to all of you for your recoomendations.

Great to hear things have improved with something as "simple" as VTA adjustment ;) Try to play around with different VTA settings and keep track of it using a stack of cards. A change in as much the thinkness of a single card can make quite a bit of a difference for the Dyna XX_2. Good luck and enjoy!

I will continue playing aroud with cards ... but when I read the paper from Geoff, I do not understand why a single Business Card can make so much difference !!!!!

I think the single card analogy, "making so much difference", is a little extreme :)

I don't. I have an XX-1 and found it to be very sensitive to VTA. A single card is about the difference in thickness between a regular album and an 180g album. I can now see why some people adjust VTA depending on the thickness of the vinyl being played. You need on-the-fly VTA adjustability on the tonearm to do this though.
