| are you using a preamp in to your daw? phono output on its own is relatively weak, and needs to have a signal boost via a preamp. it's helpful if the preamp has the RIAA filter conversion set in it...in other words, a dedicated phono preamp. if your results lack punch or are anemic in some way, it would seem to indicate a lack of low end. you are probably already aware that low end must be tightly controlled when mastering initially for vinyl. the 'RIAA curve' in a dedicated preamp restores that tamed low end upon playback. and there are software programs that can restore the proper eq, too. first, though, you'd want to have a healthy signal from your turntable's output in to your computer...
tell us a bit more about your equipment set-up...
