Is it Me, the Vinyl or the Equipment?

I just opened and played a Craft Recording of Mindy Smith "One Moment More", which is an amazing LP. There is consistent rumble under the music. Heard most clearly when the song ends. I recently bought Simply Red "Holding Back the Years" from another vendor and the same thing. Is it me, my prime TT with Ortofon Bronze cadenza cart or just the recordings being pressed at the speed of sound to get out to those of us clamoring for new LPs?

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 can only speak to the ScoutMaster of which I had 2 or 3. They were above the Scout, which I believe the Prime replaced. They were good TT's and I had no problem. As I said earlier, there are several things to check. VPI IS one of the better mfg's and I doubt they could stay in business if their TT's were problematic
