Taming a Bright Phono Section

I recently aquired an Apt Holman pre-amp. This pre-amp has
really stood the test of time. The phono section is very transparent
albeit a tad bright. Now I'm not using any esoteric gear, just a
Philips GA-212, another piece to stand the test of time, and an
Ortofon OM cartridge. I've had a Creek OBH-8SE phono pre-amp
used with the same above and it was by no means bright. So it is
the phono section. Any suggestions on how I might be able to tame this brightness.

1. Cartridge loading, as others have mentioned.

2. Use the tone controls, as others have mentioned. (They are specificly made for the purpose of fixing your problem).Be sure that the knobs are installed correctly. You might have the treble boosted without knowing it.
