FWIW thought I would throw in my 2 cents.
I have never posted in the analog forum because as you have already found out there are some very knowledgeable people in here.
I have a Project RM4 with a Sumiko Bluepoint. A modest setup in comparrison to yours. After our remodel I set the system back up in our family room. Every thing sounded fine from my digital front end. For the analog it sounded like a bad CD player where as before it sounded fine.
What had changed the room yes from carpet to hardwood. I set up the system on the long wall instead of the short wall as before. We also setup a new oak entertainment center which provides a much sturdier base for the TT.
Either by being moved or not having the proper tracking force to begin with, turned out to be my problem. My tracking force was set a 1.25 once I set to 1.6 my vinyl mellowed out considerbly. I used a gague to set the tracking force this time.
As far as the bass goes due to the limitations of vinyl the bass is always compressed so you may not hear the bass you are accoustomed to on CD.
If the PERSPECTIVE uses the same arm as the RM4 and I think it does to adjust the VTA take a deck of cards and shim the cartridge. Not the optimom but it works since the arm can't be adjusted up or down.
Good luck and let us know how it turns out.
