Primaluna. Evo 400 - bass issues
Try moving the speakers around. Different speakers react differently.   
Vintage worth the time to explore?
Add a pair of subs. Makes all the difference in the world at all volume levels.   
Looking for Advice on Focal Speakers
My son has the Focal Aria 948 and think they sound great. Very good bass and not too bright on the highs. I ran them in my setup for a few months before my son got his place. I have Klipsch Cornwall III’ s which I have paired with subs. You can se...

Anything close to Hegel H360 but smaller/lighter?
Check out the Peachtree Nova 500 integrated. Great amplifier and dac. I have the Gan400 with the PreDac. I started with the Nova 150 and the 300. I chose to do separates otherwise the Nova 500 would have been my choice.

Try This With Your SS Amp
My tubes are trapped inside a box unfortunately.   
What’s your latest high-end audio purchase?
I went from integrated to separates. Purchased the Peachtree PreDac and Gan400. Previously had the Nova 300. I have to say I’m very happy with it. I’m not sure it qualifies as high end but for me it is.   
Recommendations for HiFi Listening Room
Klipsch Hertiage Series speakers paired with a set of subs. You can’t go wrong with that setup especially with the variety of music you guys listen to.   
SME 3009 S2 Improved Tonearm problem...possibly
Try lowering your gain setting. I had similar issue with my setup when I went from MM to MC cartridge.
