Man it sure does not sound like this amp is bright at all! Look at what one reviewer said about the preamp over at enjoythemusic.com.

The RC-1550 preamplifier sports a sound with qualities that are reminiscent of a good tube preamplifier,
If thats the case, then its someting else in your chain thats making it sound bright or its not broken in as of yet if you believe that sort of thing. What cables do you use? You can read the very encouraging review here.
