If you're not hearing rockin bass on Running with the Devil, Smokin and Baba O'riley, you have a lame source recording and or your setup is not dialed in. And thats WITHOUT ridiculous cables, fuses, tweaky gizmos or other audiophool gadgets. Bas... 
What's up with lousy bass on classic rock recordings?
Nonsense! Responding to VH1, Boston, Who’s Next. I have those 3 on original pressings and they’re fantastic. These are LP only listening albums. VH1 was produced by Ted Templeman who is behind many classic albums. Boston debut was overseen by... 
New speakers or new tubes
Switching the stock EL34's to KT88's, KT120 or KT150 will result in more bass. The trade off is losing the EL34 midrange. KT77 will retain the EL34 mids with increased bass, not as pronounced, but you may find it to be a good compromise.

Degritter MKI versus Degritter MKII
Probably best to stay away from reading reviews and just enjoy listening to clean records. I would be disappointed if a new product was introduced for 1/3 the price and did the same job.

Opinion: Modern country is the worst musical genre of all time
These genre opinion threads never go well. Thankfully, my tastes go BACKWARDS, from the 80's-not to say I find "highlights" up thru the 90's. ENDLESS discovery. Being an LP disciple, it also helps by ensuring I'll likely find something undesira...

What is your experience with the Spin Clean?
