Why do my bass drivers shake violently listening to vinyl


Hello Gon'ers,

Help needed. I took the grills off my new Vandersteen Treo CT's recently and noticed that when listening to vinyl, the bass drivers shake violently, meaning the amount and frequency in which they travel in and out. Then I played the same pieces of music from Tidal and they were relatively calm.

Is this some kind of feedback loop causing this? Has this happened to anyone else?

Thanks!

@atmasphere , I was not so fortunate. The 10" drivers in my AR 2ax's use to flop around plenty.

Glad the OP solved the problem.  I ditched my analog outfit years ago but before I did I had a hum that resisted multiple approaches to eliminate until I bought a "hum buster" or some such thing that apparently isolated the hum and turned it into light.

 

  As a confirmed digital lover I have to say there was a. real entertainment value to reading some of the posts in this thread.  I particularly liked the suggestion about putting silly putty on an expensive tonearm/cart configuration
