Tube phono stage, or solid state,pre amp


Hello Friends1. Well Tempered Reference, TT, with Zu cartridge,
2,I have a "PS Audio GPH, phono stage" solid state, although I would like a few more options re cartridge loading??3  My Pre Amp is "PS Audio Pre/Dac pre amp!!",solid state!!
4. "Audio Labs" solid state mono blocks, with sounds smooth and power full !!5. Pair of Zu Souls MK!!, speakers!!I'm close to nirvana, but am missing something!!, can someone help??The sound is on most records, just, seems on the bright side, which is great, for cymbals, and dynamics, with nice bottom end??, but there is trend, for male vocals, and lead guitar, that up sets the balance??, towards the bright!!
I need someones advice??1. shalll I go for, a different, Tube Phono Stage??, mine has nice bass!!2. Should I replace the pre/dac, pre amp??, for a tube unit, Mine it is solid state??Friends, what is your thoughts??Many ThanksDavidAustralia

Your speakers are very high efficiency 99db and a very easy load and you're driving them with a fairly powerful SS amp. Perhaps try a tube amp or even low powered SS before messing with your phono setup.
