I'm was wondering if anyone could help me out. I'm currently having issues with my right speaker distorting and showing visibly excessive speaker cone movement.
I have the following system; Rega p3-24, Elys 2 Cart Arcam Alpha 7 Integrated Amp Kef 104 AB
I'm not sure what entirely is the matter as this only seems to happen on the right channel. When playing back via CD, I do not have this issue, the problem starts when the amp is turned up to high volumes. The Woofer and bass reflex both start to shake and then appear to lose control causing the audio to distort.
Has anyone experienced this and any ideas on how to solve this problem?
Thanks I will try your suggestions when I get home tonight. I did try a different TT which was an old Realistic 8010 Turntable which didnt have the same issue with the speaker cone visibly moving excessively and distorting the bass causing the whole room to shake.
Thanks for your feedback, I played about with the location of the TT, and it was just like Miner and Theo suggested that it wasn't isolated properly. I never imagined the isolation causing that severe of a problem. I believed it must have been something wrong with the TT simply due to the severity of the distortion.
Thanks for all your quick responses and helping me solve this issue.
Although I have my Rega P7 on a marble-topped console I can still get feedback by just lightly tapping the door to the console. I sure would have thought my TT would be isolated on a marble slab. I am now looking at various ways to isolate better. Black Diamond Racing makes isolation feet for Rega tables - they are replacement feet. i might give these a try.
