Listening to music matters Freddie Hubbard thought my woof was going to blow?
I was listening to Hubtones the other day and on the first track when Freddie started to blow, so did my woofer. Shook the room and was kind of startling to be honest. What causes that kind of distortion? Mic overload?
There may be a low frequency resonance in your system, due either to cartridge/tonearm match or to something else, like proximity of your TT to the woofers or etc., which would work through feedback.
Happens on every turntable I play it on. Its not only this record but I notice it on many reissues, another one is Van Morrison Moondance reissue 1st track. Never does it on originals
I have the same pressing and it's smooth and full when he hits that section and Herbie starts comping / Drummer does a fill. Reminds me of that patarata boom baaahhhh moment in So What, it jumps out but is not grating.
Lewm has it right. You are probably feeding back at low frequencies. Either your turntable is poorly isolated or you have a cartridge tonearm miss match. You said it happens with all turntable? What turntables, tonearms and cartridges? What is are the turntables on? If you have a cabinet that is vibrating it can pass this on to the turntables
The reissues are not cutting the bass. Many companies EQ the bass. Some companies like Mobile Fidelity in the old days boosted bass to make things more impressive.
