Can a bass-shy / polite tubed preamp be remedied?

If a tubed preamp is reputed to lack some slam in the lower octaves, what mods (other than the usual - rolling of the tubes, and experimenting with various power cords), are generally recommended? Would changing the cheap stock diodes to a reputable brand help? If not, what would?

You may want to contact a builder or designer of this stuff like Electra-Print. I'm guessing some form of power supply mod and inline output transformers would give you all the slam you could ever want.Why not talk to the people that make them directly?

Good luck
