  Phono-pre: subsonic filter on or off ?
I currently have mine set to on. Does this mean I'm rolling off some bass and perhaps not getting the full bass slam I should ? What do most of you do that have phono pre's with subsonic filters...on or off ? Thank in advance.

Ptm,
I've never seen rumble filter adjustable. It's mostly oriented on sub-sonic frequencies of a large amplitude. Hence the alternate name is SUBSONIC filter.
SUB-SONIC means UNDER-AUDIABLE.
