That query could cover a lot of ground and raises lots of questions:

What is your idea of " a strong bass line" ? Is it what an enthusiast of acoustic folk music would expect or is it what you might get from a Jamaican Sound System playing dub music?

Which Benz Ace cartridge do you have, SL, SM or SH?

What settings have you selected on the Black Cube for the Benz?

Is the Black Cube left switched on or do you just power it up before the listening session?

How have you correctly set SRA for the cartridge given that it is a fine line design and that on a stock Rega 3 it isn't straightforward to do this?

How has the Lehmann Black Cube been "enhanced"? Which Black Cube is it ? Which power supply is being used?

Does the output from the Black Cube go straight to the headphone amplifier? Does it pass through a preamplifier? You say other sources sound OK so do they go through a preamp whereas the phono doesn't?
