Now I've got my turntable sorted, although I'm spinning my discs via PC
& headphones, the bass just sounds absent. Is this a common theme with
budget phono-stages. (esp the Maplins one?).

Come to think of it, would an external stage of say £40-50 be better
than the one installed inside my old Cambridge Audio A500 ?

Suggest you look out for an old S/Hand Audiolab 8000 pre amp or
integrated, that disc input in those is excellent
