Musical Fidelity A5 CDP -bass problem


I am having trouble getting good bass out of my MFA5CDP.
Using Rotel 200wpc 1080. Vandersteen 2CE sigs. I am Comparing it with same set up and my other Rotel CD player which has gret bass so I dont want to change the amp/spkrs. I experimented with changing the interconnects with a cheap pair I had laying around and it seemed better , but is there any advice on a rational approach to interconnect selection with a "bass" issue?

i replaced my a5 with a bat vk d5. bass is more extended, but i find that there is too much energy in the treble.

i am looking for a very mellow 6922.
i owned the same player and i concur with your perception.

you might consider replacing it.

i tried different interconnects and line cords and the problem persisted.
