How to get rig of the low frequency from record

I’m just beginner record player. I have a problem.. Please any one helps me.

I’ve planed to by ARC SP9 mkIII pre, but just find out that unit didn’t have “low filter”.. I already ask someone in ARC company.. They said, they didn’t do filter option since 1979…

And we talked, he already said I should change the turntable (The one that I’ve been using is Dual not old, but not new + Grado Gold MM )…Ok.. Fine, but would like to know that how is gonna work

The Low frequency which I had in my system. I can observe for the Mid-range driver moved big bump swing, but not make any sound. I volume just 10 o’clock position … This kind of action is typical for record player?.. I check other my records...some do, some don’t... I afraid my speakers will be blowing out..

How can I get rid of this kind of problem?

Thank you
Varakan.

Varakan, you are not alone. The speaker behavior you describe is more common than you might imagine. For years I never noticed it until I got speakers with removable grills.

The most common suggestion here seems to be better isolation of the turntable from airborne or floor vibration. Some believe this odd speaker pumping is inherent in LP playback itself. Maybe changing the turntable will help. Applying filters, clamps, and cut-in-half tennis balls may help too. Experiment and see!

Hopefully someone can say how much of a risk this untreated condition poses to your speakers.
