Is it Me, the Vinyl or the Equipment?

Really? They had that high of rumble? I thought they were top notch tables. I have burnt 10,000,000 calories with Technics TT and DANCING. Every dance joint around spinnin' vinyl uses Technics, great TTs..

Hat on the floor, as I slowly walk around the hat to the beat of the music, my faithful K-9 compa' follows...WE stop.. and slowly back around the hat.. Olay amigo. Stomp.. Stomp..

Tap Tap. Lambada.. Ay, Chica....

I forgot, To heavy of a clamp or LP weight can do it too.. That pressure is actually where it all begins unless it’s an air ride. Air Rides are rumble free, no end load on the platter bearing.. That contact area is pretty important..
Like the difference between GOOD and BAD... Usually just one little hard round ball, a contact area and lube..

It’s called rumble, two fold. The weight is to great on the head shell or something need service. Rumble is the floor noise of a given TT, it can be reduced a lot or increased because of maintenance.

BTW ALL the older Preamps had filters, the better the preamp the better the filters.. Rumble and Tape filters, were a just of a few.. The reason I like Mac.. They had the BEST filters and lowest floor noise, when NOT using them. Fisher was close too..

Oh one other thing.. I could be wrong.. :-) Get some springs under your TT.

TT 101, get springs, get deadening matt, get HEAVY. I use Russco broadcast TT. They have a TINY bit of rumble.. I keep a cool 1/2 dozen TT here for builds.. Garrard Killers... Russco, QRK, Sparta..
Close to my Thorens.. Better than Garrard though, hands down.
