The settings affect the sensitivity of the phono input ( S1, S2) i.e how loud it is and the input impedence (S3, S4) which really affects the upper treble response. As you can see neither will really influence the bass per se.



I think we have to accept that Rega will have chosen the correct settings on their amp to suit their own cartridges. Similarly Rega have built their turntables, arms and cartridges to suit each other and some arm geometry aspects such as VTA/SRA (the height of the arm in relation the the angle of the stylus) cannot be altered on a standard Rega turntable and it is correct if a Rega cartridge is chosen. The latter will not affect bass in any case.

One thing that will affect bass is the placement of the turntable. Is it on a specialised rack or on another surface? How close is it placed to the loudspeakers? Actually I expect that this is probably OK unless you have changed things as you were happy with the Apheta's predecessor, the Exact.

One thing to check which will affect bass is the wiring of the system especially from the amp to speakers. I am just wondering if you may have inadvertently wired e.g one speaker wrongly ("red" output to "black" input). This would invert the phase of one channel in relation to the other and a loss of bass will result.

I agree with Bill_K that you probably need to let the cartridge break in for a little longer >50 hours.
