Bob, I had the same situation where I couldn't move the turntable and couldn't mount it on the wall, etc.
The KAB rumble filter finally solved my troubles a few years ago, and I've never looked back.
Woofers going crazy when playing vinyl
I already posted this on Vinyl Asylum but I wanted to get as many opinions as I can.
I was spinning some vinyl for the first time since upgrading my speakers (Odyssey Audio Kismet Reference) and noticed the woofers were moving like crazy. As soon as I lifted the stylus, the woofer pumping stopped. It happens at any level above 83db. My turntable is a VPI Scout which I have had for a couple of years with a ZU Audio DL103 low output mc cartridge. My preamp is an Audible Illusions Modulus 3A with the John Curl gold mc phono boards. My turntable sits on the top of my rack on the cones that came with it and I have never had any problems until I replaced the speakers. The audio rack is a Sanus which sits on cones as well, and yes it is very level as is the turntable
The speakers are coupled to the floor with gold cones I bought from Adonis and they are secure. The turntable/audio rack is across the room from my speakers. I tried the low filter on my preamp but it made no difference. The woofer cones were really moving in and out like crazy!!
Some have suggested moving the speakers (not possible), mounting the Turntable to a wall shelf (not possible), change cartridges (won't), Some mentioned turntable set up, but every setting is right on the money and I had it professionally set up at a very high end store in Newton, Mass and they sell a lot of high end turntables. Others suggested buying a KAB rumble Filter (leaning this way). If I buy the filter, I will also need 2 more quality interconnects and I am not really liking to have to spend a lot more money.
If there is something that hasn't been thought of or you have some thoughts, please chime in. I need my vinyl fix, BAD.
