Best SUT For Van Den Hul Crimson Stradivarius cartridge
EMT STX 5/10 will be a good match for your vdH cartridge. you can use it at 1:5 ratio (14dB). it has silver transformers and I really like it's sound. another option is Kondo CFZ or SFZ with 1:10 ratio  (20dB) and if you wanna go a little bit furt... 
Woofer pumping possibly due to tube amp when playing vinyl
if you moved all the equipment to another room and the problem is solved then check AC line and grounding. also check AC polarity on all equipment (remote possibility). still if you can not find any solution then use subsonic filter orif sound qua...

2020 update : JC Verdier La Platine
I’ve tested wow&flutter of lots of high end turntables (each around 20000-50000 USD) and lots of vintage direct drives in the last few years.I used Analogmagik software mainly for the tests but I also used WFGUI, platterspeed and RPM. all of t... 
Does altitude change the sound of speakers??
yes it definitely does change. it's all related with sound velocity. if humidity, density or pressure increases sound velocity in air increases too. sound is lazy. sound waves tend to move to where sound velocity is lower.there is no way to come t...
