How to get rig of the low frequency from record

I’m just beginner record player. I have a problem.. Please any one helps me.

I’ve planed to by ARC SP9 mkIII pre, but just find out that unit didn’t have “low filter”.. I already ask someone in ARC company.. They said, they didn’t do filter option since 1979…

And we talked, he already said I should change the turntable (The one that I’ve been using is Dual not old, but not new + Grado Gold MM )…Ok.. Fine, but would like to know that how is gonna work

The Low frequency which I had in my system. I can observe for the Mid-range driver moved big bump swing, but not make any sound. I volume just 10 o’clock position … This kind of action is typical for record player?.. I check other my records...some do, some don’t... I afraid my speakers will be blowing out..

How can I get rid of this kind of problem?

Thank you
Varakan.

Varakan, you are not alone. The speaker behavior you describe is more common than you might imagine. For years I never noticed it until I got speakers with removable grills.

The most common suggestion here seems to be better isolation of the turntable from airborne or floor vibration. Some believe this odd speaker pumping is inherent in LP playback itself. Maybe changing the turntable will help. Applying filters, clamps, and cut-in-half tennis balls may help too. Experiment and see!

Hopefully someone can say how much of a risk this untreated condition poses to your speakers.

Thanks for you answer.. I just Check your system. We're both using "Proac". I've been using ProAc Res.1SC and McIntosh MA 6100 Which have a "Low Filter, Hight Filter". To me, I don't like to use it. Seem half of sound stage cut off.., but they should have better solution to do it

Then , that is why I try to add something to make the sound better, Sp9 MkIII Pre+ MA 6100 Power should be macth

....Please any one help us for Low noise.

Thank you
Varakan.

Same issue with ARC PH-3. I still had a pair of Nakamichi subsonic line filters on hand so I plugged them into the output of the PH-3. Maybe you could find some of these on the used market or something similar. I find that vented speakers seem to be more prone to this problem. Also make sure there is no feedback from the TT by isolating it as much as possible. Good luck.
