Fun! The first thing I would do if you have not already, is not consider the CSP3 as a preamp, but instead as a sound shaper. It has such a wide range of voltage output, you can do a lot to tune your overall sound with just the individual tube pots and the CSP3 gain.

I might suggest starting by setting the front right/left pots at 7, and the back ones at 8. Then, set the Rachel attenuator at whatever level you are used to for a satisfying volume for your room and tastes, and bring the CSP3 attenuator up to where it sounds about as loud as you were used to with just the Rachel. Then try "riding the gains" between the CSP3 and SE34 while keeping close to the same volume, to hear how the CSP3 voltage (and all the rest of it) adjusts the sound, when increasing CSP3 voltage, emboldening your sound, and reducing it in the blend likely opening and leaning the sound. This can be really useful for tuning to different recordings.

Toward your end of bringing up bass some... for example...if you liked your amp at half volume, maybe start setting it there without music, and the CSP3 turned down. Then with music, bring the CSP3 master gain up to fit that volume you liked in your room... Then, to amp up the signal, keeping the volume as close as possible to the same, turn the CSP3 up while riding the Rachel gain down at the same time.

This will give a good sense of how the increased voltage of the CSP3 can embolden the CSP3 and SE34 sound qualities, likely including bass, weight, lucidity, dynamics, space, etc, while introducing the fun of using the CSP3 as a sound refinement tool rather than a great sounding volume device.
