What Integrated Amp do You use
Musical Fidelity M6si. 
Sopra 2 Bass
90% of my issues with low frequencies were resolved by adding 4 subwoofers in a distributed bass array, or "swarm". Low frequencies which were weak and uneven were instantly balanced, strong and most of all, real.Do some research here and on the A... 
WHAT SONG TOUCHES YOUR HEART THE MOST?
It's either Bonnie Raitt's "I Can't Make You Love Me" or "Surfin' Bird" by The Trashmen.

Fabulous album. I have a copy she signed for me when she was staying at her place north of Vancouver on the Sunshine Coast. 
DeoxIT on cables/Jacks?
