Does anyone use a RUMBLE filter?


I am having way to much cone movements on my main speakers and Sub when I play vinyl. Someone suggested I purchase a rumble filter from KAB audio. I notice that a lot of the cheaper phono preamps have these filters built in. When I purchased a more expensive better sounding unit ..it dosent have one. So I am wondering why dont a lot more companys sell these things if they are so important? I need to buy one and they dont seem to be very expensive $170 + another IC cable.

agree with newbee, but also agree it won't hurt to have one if your phono doesn't have one. old records warped records may tend to rumble especially at higher volumes with risk of damaging speakers.

Onhwy61, If everything's perfectly aligned and no pumping, then filter will 'sleep' and won't 'degrade' performance. If the filter is needed, than it will just save your speakers.
