Well, don't know what to say. I'm running Linux with Firefox which is usually pretty resistant to issues like this. Not worth any more effort at my end. Good luck with getting rid of your subsonic problem. I'd suggest a dedicated subsonic filter or perhaps experimenting with different material types under the turntable.
Turntable Causes Speaker Cones To Excessively Move Rapidly
I have a Technics 1200G turntable, Luxman 595, and I use MM carts. For some reason, when I play my turntable I see my sub woofer cone (REL sub) and my Focal Sopra N1 cones move violently. There is a subsonic filter on it where helps cut down on it. But I am wondering... does anyone else have this issue?
If I didn’t have the subsonic filter would the violent moving of my cones damage my speakers? I ran it for about 2 hours total of turntable music before I noticed.
Not a issue with my streamer... they stay almost perfectly still. Just with turntable.

Ok I see multiple areas for improvement. Put a pause on buying equipment and cables until you address everything above. |
This Woofer pumping can be a real problem, first I would check cartridge compliance with tonearm just to be sure...MORE than likely it is the room your system is in! move it to another room or get some major sound absorbing (pillows are easy for testing ) materials and try them out in a few key locations, Get a heavy slab of granite under your turntable, move the sub around or angle the mains a little differently, you need to change the frequency in the room! P.S. Don’t bother with a KAB filter, unless you like the sound of a blanket being thrown over your system.

I’ll also add that your turntable behind the speaker is probably collecting bass standing waves and passes it through the record into the cartridge then into phono stage. Try moving the stand with the table more into the room. |
