Hi ,
In my experience I had this problem for quite sometime when I move to our new home. In my new listening room my system( VPI TNT6, Kuzma Stogi Ref , Koetsu Rosewood w/ TOL retippping frm Soundsmith, ARC SP11 MK2 , ARC Classic 150 mono blocks , Duntech C5000 Princess) the sound was so dark & lifeless compared to the sound in my old home. What I did was replaced the TNT 6's platter to the Classic platter , replaced the Stogi Ref w/ the Kuzma Stogi Ref 313 VTA and replaced the Koetsu w/ the Benz Micro Gullwing SLR then w/ a help of my friend using a USB microscope & Michael Fremer's programm for setting the VTA to 92 degrees I'm now very happy w/ the sound of my system.
It's really room and component interaction that will make your system bright or dark in my humble opinion.
Hope this helps,
Mondial
