Flat speaker sound/preamp the culprit?/external EQ needed?

Hi, I have a Rogue Audio tube amp, which I love, a U-Turn turntable and an NAD phono preamp. Here's my issue: on many recordings the bass can really drown out the rest of the record. In general things sound muddy. When I plug my iPhone directly into the amp, I dont have this problem. So I think the premp is the culprit. (It has no EQ controls.) Can someone recommend a reasonably priced solution to this? An external EQ? Something else? (Someone recommended a Schiit Loki.) Many thanks in advance!

Is the Rogue an integrated amp or a power amp?

What make/model of speakers do you have?

Where are they placed within the room?  Dimensions of the room?

@ineedhelpwithcables  You're not answering our questions, and without that basic information we can't help.

We need a precise description of your system, with make and model of each component, and how you're hooking it all up.
