help identifying bass solutions with system

I am experiencing low bass with my analog setup. I have the same albums on vinyl and digital formats to compare

I could use some help identifying the weak link(s) in my setup. any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

I expect the phono pre is the culprit but i have no idea...

I am currently using:
-MMF 5 Music hall turntable(Dennon 110 MC cart)
-NAD PP2 phono preamp
-Van Den Hul inter
-Peachtree Nova amp
-MIT EXP1 speaker cables
-Paradigm Studio 40 Speakers

Thank you for your help

Or at least try some different vibration damping for whatever platform the turntable is on.

Moving my Linn to the recommended (interestingly) "light but stable" lowish table worked for me...also I absolutely need the 20hz rumble filter that comes with my Cambridge 640P phono preamp or it's a woofer pumpfest.

When I read "low bass" i thought the OP might mean thin bass rather than a low bass rumble?

That is funny...low bass! Means exactly 2 opposite things!

Sorry, i am new to the terminology. I will try my best to elaborate my issue:

I can hear the highs and mid range very clearly. the bass seems like it has been turned down. perhaps this is the 'thin bass' as stated above.

my problem is certainly a lack of bass, not an abundance.

thanks again
