Mswobo, don't let the jokes discourage you. My advise, which will cost you very little:
-Don't change any major component yet. Sounds like you are relatively new to the audio hobby; this is a great opportunity to learn about some basics that will help you forever.
-What is your turntable sitting on? Isolate it as much as possible, and then try to put it on cones for good coupling and rigidity. That should tighten the bass.
-Don't laugh: take some bricks (lead bars are much better, but....) covered with cloth or tape if you care about looks, and place them on top of your amp and preamp (away from any cooling slots or fins). Place amp and preamp on metal cones as well.
-Make sure ALL your connections are clean and tight.
-Place speakers away from corners as much as possible.
-Experiment with VTA and VTF on your Rega. Positive VTA, and lower VTF could help a great deal.
-Take two aspirins and call us in a few days.
Good luck.
