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.

The sound through the line stage is NOT bright. Plus I have set the
correct cartridge loading per Ortofon specs. I'm beginning to think
someone might have doctored the phono section. Or maybe it's time to upgrade the passive parts in the PS.
