LP12 Setup: Dead & Lifeless: Where's the air?

Picked up an LP12 from a fellow 'Goner this weekend and installed the Dynavector and proceeded to be underwhelmed :)

It sounds really dark and closed w/o any airiness on top.
Fiddled with the basics, and this basic dark, closed character did not change much at all.

Being a LP12 newbie I could certainly have my local dealer help with this (they are very good), but thought if there was something simple to fiddle with, I could affect a DIY style setup change.

Thoughts?

Hm, unfortunately I think, this is not possible, beside huge tweaking.
I never saw a LP12 which was able to create 'air '. All were - more or less - dull, slow, coloured with no inspiration.
Your description about being dead and lifeless is normal, I think. ( So, most Linn dealers say, they have a great timing ....)
